“Here they make excavators”, “Here they make turbines”, “And here they make noise.” After the NEP period and during/following collectivization, many bureaucrats were needed to administer the new socialist economic system. The Soviet government abhorred the bureaucrats in principle, but required them in practice; to vent some if its frustration with bureaucrats, the Soviets allowed for the criticism and general ridicule of the bureaucrat class, this comic from the magazine Krokodil is an example of this.
