The statement 'It’s the best propaganda because that moment never once happened in all of Soviet history' is a critical commentary on the effectiveness and authenticity of Soviet anti-alcohol propaganda. The tone is somewhat sarcastic, suggesting that the depicted scenario in the propaganda poster (a man refusing alcohol) was not reflective of actual behavior in Soviet society. The intent appears to be to highlight the disparity between propaganda and reality, contributing to a broader discussion on cultural practices and historical narratives.
