This is a series of political posters depicting old socialist block leaders, with a slogan that says “For a Europe who gives voice to the people”. It’s meant to highlight my personal disillusion about European politics and politicians.

The series features:

• Todor Zikhov, President of Bulgaria from 1954 to 1989;
• Josip Broz Tito, President of Yugoslavia from 1953 to 1980;
• János Kádár, General Secretary of the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party from 1956 to 1988;
• Gustáv Husák, President of Czechoslovakia from 1975 to 1989;
• Enver Hoxha, President of Albania from 1944 to 1985;
• Erick Honecker, President of GDR from 1976 to 1989;
• Władysław Gomułka, First Secretary of Polish Unified Workers’ Party from 1956 to 1970;
• Nicolae Ceaușescu, President of Romania from 1974 to 1989;
• Leonid Brežnev, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982.
