Business Insider:

Here Are The Two Soviet Propaganda Posters Hanging In The White House Press Secretary's Home

Washingtonian MOM magazine's spring issue has a profile of White House Press Secretary Jay Carney's wife, ABC News contributor Claire Shipman, that features a picture taken inside their home. In the background of the photo, you can see two framed Soviet-era propaganda posters.
One of Carney's posters is a version of this iconic design by artist Dmitry Moor with a soldier pointing his finger alongside text that says "Have YOU Enlisted?" in Russian:

The other poster features a female factory worker. According to this eBay seller, who is offering one for $1,660, the poster was printed on June 26, 1941, days after Russia began fighting the Axis powers in World War II. It encourages women take jobs vacated by men who have gone to fight. The woman in the poster is switching out a tag with a man's name to one with hers and the text says: "Women! Learn production, replace workers who went to the front! The stronger the hinterland - the stronger the front!"

Carney and Shipman have a lot of history with Russia. They met in Moscow in the 1990s while he was writing for Time and she worked for CNN. Carney did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider Friday.

Scum. I hope they slither down the drain.

They're right out in the open now, huh? They sense victory, IMO.

I agree with Anonymous: How the other side lives ...

They may have commies minds, but sure like to live like the 1%. I wonder how many loops they profit from when filing their taxes. My guess: as many as they can ... They advocate Communism, but let others pay for it! Very Western Communism, or as I call them: "Comunistas de salón."

I believe Steely Dan said that.

Must be great to live in DC.
