* Literature/{{Discworld}} witch Irena Politek has an apartment decked out like this, with a twist. Her two-room apartment in Ankh-Morpork is decked out with propaganda posters, both antique survivals and recent reproductions, dating from the days of the [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Union of Soviets]]. While she acknowledges the Union of Soviets is long defunct and it looks unlikely it'll be re-established any time soon, and her own faith in the Revolution is very much diminished by contact with everyday reality outside [[UsefulNotes/{{Russia}} Rodinia]], she keeps them on the wall out of respect for her old-time communist family and upbringing, and mainly because it pisses off her lifelong friend, Lady Olga Romanoff. [[note]]Irena views keeping Olga, a powerful Witch, in a state of everyday grounded irritation, performs the same service that Nanny Ogg provided for Granny Weatherwax.(''mayhersoulhavemercyontheGods'')[[/note]]
