A ghoulish looking hand, with hammer-and-sickle tattoo and long fingernails, drips blood onto the whole of Eurasia—“from Tabriz to Budapest” and beyond. The image conveys American concerns about the global nature of “red” communism at the height of the Cold War.

Figure 9. “From Tabriz to Budapest,” 1956. A leaflet produced and distributed by the US Information Agency’s field office in Tehran. Courtesy of National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). RG 306, P46, box 113.
