Description | Cartoon shows a Soviet bear holding a sheet of paper reading "Nationalism," saying "Let's sing" to a crow (labeled "Arabs") sitting in a tree above his head, holding food (labeled "Freedom") in its mouth. The cartoon is based on Aesop's fable, the Fox and the Crow, in which a fox tricks a crow into dropping a piece of meat by suggesting that the crow must have a beautiful voice. Suggests that the Soviets, who are supporting the movement for nationalism in the Middle East, really hope to dominate the region. |
