Do we have any architects here to expand this article to include the Soc-Realist architecture? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 10:25, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

GDR

Someone added this:

It is also often overlooked that the GDR had its own movement of Socialist Realism, separate from that of the USSR. It was pivotal in the rise and fall of the GDR.

Without explanations it is meaningless and useless as seen by capitalists. Mikkalai 00:55, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

People's Republic of China

A recent edit just added the line

However The People's Republic of China still produce idealised poster propoganda, for example to promote their recent manned space launch successes.

which I like. Is there any chance we could get an illustration of one of these posters? I guess it could be included under 'fair-use'. -- Solipsist 14:36, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the last external link to some russian site because the site tried to install a trojan (virus) and crashed firefox repeatable.

• Sorry, Vivaciouslytypingaway, but it's not eligible. The article was created in 2002, and there's been no recent expansion. It's currently 34,360 prose characters, so a five-times expansion would not really be possible. If you get it to WP:Good article status, you may renominate for DYK within a week of that designation. Please see WP:DYK for general information, rules, eligibility criteria, etc. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 02:42, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
