Jay Carney worked as a correspondent in Time's Moscow Bureau for three years, I would imagine he liked the artwork and brought it home and eventually stuck it on his kitchen wall, or its a daily reminder of his efforts to turn America into a Communist country ..i think the former scenario is more plausible.

It's somewhat odd to "like" the artwork commissioned by a regime that murdered 20 million of its own citizens.
But I suppose some people admire the rotational symmetry of the swastika, as well. Or, admire the "creative genius" of Kim Jong Un's execution of his uncle by stripping him naked and feeding him alive to 120 starving dogs.

You can't be serious. Ovechkin, Leonov, Denisov, Bulgakov, Gorky, Eisenstein, Chukrai, Solzhenitsyn were (Denisov is still alive) brilliant artists and that's the just the tip of the iceberg. Not to mention the fact that the USSR embraced pre-Soviet artists like Pushkin, Chekov, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky and Tchaikovsky.
Hmmm, let me think. Don't we have something called the First Amendment that allows freedom of expression? Since when has it become illegal to hand anything on the walls of your home? So who are the Art Police who can tell people what they can or can't put up in their homes? Is there a website I can go to make sure what I have hanging in my house is ok.
Why is it that freedom of expression is ok for some but not for others?

We do. The First Amendment also guarantees freedom of association, the right to join or leave groups of a person's own choosing. It just so happens that Jay Carney has chosen to associate with a government group that practiced democide, killing off 20 million of its own citizens. It is well within Jay Carney's right to associate with and celebrate such a group by hanging its propaganda art in the kitchen of his home, and tout his association by displaying it in a magazine article photo of his family frolicking in his kitchen.
