Russia Political Cartoons

Political Cartoons

<cagle.com> has great examples of political cartoons to get you started on this assignment.

Create a political cartoon illustrating Putin's centralization of power using symbols relevant to Russia’s political history.  Good political cartoons include perspective so you must write from the perspective of an ethnic, religious, or other social cleavage. 

Friday you will present your cartoon in class.  You will vote for which cartoon has the best symbolism/perspective and which cartoon has best artwork.

The two topics / events you may focus on are:

Putin's crack down on regional autonomy / centralizing power

and

Treatment of Chechnya (autonomous region (muslim))
