About the Item
This original 1958 Soviet propaganda poster by Isaak Grinstein celebrates the power of the press as a vital tool of culture and ideological influence. Featuring bold constructivist aesthetics, the poster juxtaposes two powerful symbols of Soviet publishing: a monumental statue of Ivan Fyodorov, the first Russian printer, and the imposing Pravda building, the headquarters of the USSR’s most influential state newspaper.
The inscription at the top, quoting Fyodorov, reads: "To scatter spiritual seeds across the universe." This reinforces the idea of print as a vehicle for knowledge and enlightenment, aligning with the Soviet vision of education, propaganda, and mass communication as forces shaping a communist society.
The composition and color scheme follow the Soviet poster tradition—red and black, symbolizing revolution and strength, with stark contrasts to emphasize authority and impact. The monumental architecture of the Pravda headquarters reflects Soviet industrial progress, while Fyodorov’s image connects the present with Russia’s deep-rooted literary and intellectual heritage.
At the bottom, the slogan reads:
"Printing—the mighty weapon of human culture!"
This highlights the significance of the press in shaping ideology, mobilizing the masses, and solidifying cultural development within the USSR.
This poster is a quintessential example of Soviet-era propaganda, blending historical reverence with modernist ideals. Today, it stands as a testament to the power of visual art in shaping political narratives, making it a fascinating piece for collectors and historians alike.

1972 soviet poster by the legendary Viktor Koretsky - Let’s Preserve and Raise!
By Viktor Koretsky
Located in PARIS, FR
A luminous artifact of Soviet visual propaganda, this 1972 poster by the legendary Viktor Koretsky embodies the powerful optimism and ideological clarity of late-stage socialist realism. Titled “Сохраним и вырастим!” — “Let’s Preserve and Raise!” — the poster was part of a campaign promoting agricultural productivity and humane animal husbandry during the Brezhnev-era push for rural modernization.
Rendered in Koretsky’s unmistakable photomontage style, the composition presents a radiant, smiling woman — a collective farm worker or veterinary technician — bottle-feeding a calf. Her expression, almost saintly in its warmth, becomes a symbol of maternal care projected onto the state’s vision of stewardship over the land and its creatures. The background, suffused with an almost neon green pasture and meticulously ordered barns, represents the ideological fantasy of agricultural abundance.
Unlike many Western posters...
