Comments:

1. The top line is the title of a short agitation verse known as "agitka".
2. In Russian language the words "coldness" and "hunger" rhyme, and this couple is a ubiquitous cliche in descriptions of harsh living conditions.
3. See Udarnik article for "strike teams of exemplary labor".
4. The smoke in the picture #2 had different associations at these times: today smoke is pollution, then it was a sign of industrial revolution, and posters of early Soviet times abound in smoky chimneys of plants.
