Question
Do you know what these two words mean? резинотрест & соввласть I think соввласть might be a contraction of советский + власть, but I'm not sure. They're both from (different) Mayakovsky posters. The context is: Лучших сосок не было и нет / готов сосать до старых лет / продаются везде / резинотрест коммунизм это соввласть + электрофикация thanks/спасибо :)

Answer
резинотрест - rubber trust (rubber factory)
соввласть - советская власть (soviet government)
I know these posters :-)
