> the vibrant art and propaganda narratives of Soviet children's books

The media children consumed in the Soviet Union was a propaganda narrative.

Luckily for us in the land of freedom, the media children consume on television in the USA is not a propaganda narrative.

Who funds/pays for research like this? I get it, history is important, but maybe we reached a level where there has been enough books, articles, and texts written on the Soviet / Nazi area?

As it was explained to me, since children's books and cartoons were pretty much exempt from the heavy hands of the censors, artists who could get into production of either were for the most part free to do what they pleased.
