N. Denisov
1951 original Soviet propaganda poster USSR Great Maritime Power - CCCP

1951

About the Item

The original Soviet propaganda poster created by N. Denisov in 1951, titled "URSS Grande puissance maritime" (USSR Great Maritime Power), stands as a testament to the Soviet Union's aspirations to assert itself as a formidable naval force on the world stage during the early Cold War period. Crafted against the backdrop of heightened geopolitical tensions between the Soviet Union and its Western counterparts, the poster seeks to convey the image of the USSR as a dominant maritime power capable of projecting its influence across the seas. The imagery likely features powerful visual symbols such as warships, submarines, naval flags, and perhaps iconic landmarks or seascapes associated with the Soviet Navy. Through bold graphics and stirring slogans, the poster would have aimed to instill a sense of pride, confidence, and loyalty among Soviet citizens towards their country's naval capabilities. It would have emphasized the importance of a strong navy in safeguarding the interests of the Soviet state, defending its territorial waters, and protecting its maritime trade routes. Furthermore, the poster likely served propagandistic purposes both domestically and internationally. Domestically, it would have reinforced the narrative of Soviet military might and technological prowess, fostering a sense of national unity and solidarity among the populace. Internationally, it would have projected an image of Soviet strength and deterrence, serving as a warning to potential adversaries while also seeking to attract support and admiration from sympathetic audiences abroad.
