Does anyone know where I can find high-quality images of Soviet propaganda posters?

Thanks!

More help with very, very specific concepts

What is the most eloquent yet fluent way of rendering ро-русски the idioms:

1. that something "has gone all pear-shaped", or even: "has all gone to hell in a hand basket?
2. "Quick cash" or "money on the side" (I know of черные деньги, but this sounds too criminal)?
3. "Screw me once, shame on you; screw me twice, shame on me"?

Also: what construction is used for "continuous" comparative states, i.e.: "The load is getting heavier and heavier" or "the quagmire of international bureaucracy grows ever more ridiculous"?
