Unfortunately, the USSR posters are blocked here at my (apparently Communist) office.

As for flat design, I think it's a matter of aesthetics over functionality. Our current collective taste is toward simple. I think trying to come up with an academic justification for why flat is "better" is a silly exercise, because you can't quantify what is obviously subjective. "It looks cooler" doesn't sound very erudite, but that's what this whole thing boils down to.
