About the Item

The original Soviet propaganda poster created by Vladimirov in 1963, titled "De record en nouveaux records ! Gloire aux sports soviétiques !" (From record to new records! Glory to Soviet sports!), exemplifies the Soviet Union's emphasis on physical fitness, athleticism, and achievement in sports as a means of promoting national pride and ideological superiority. Crafted during the peak of the Cold War, the poster celebrates the achievements of Soviet athletes and their continuous breaking of records in various sporting disciplines. The central imagery of the poster likely features dynamic illustrations of athletes engaged in athletic feats, such as running, jumping, weightlifting, or gymnastics, symbolizing the prowess and dedication of Soviet sportsmen and sportswomen. Accompanying the imagery may be patriotic slogans or text extolling the virtues of Soviet sports and the superiority of the Soviet athletic system. These messages would have emphasized the collective achievements of Soviet athletes, portraying them as exemplars of physical strength, discipline, and determination in service to the socialist state. The poster likely served multiple purposes within the Soviet propaganda apparatus. Firstly, it aimed to inspire and motivate citizens to participate in sports and physical fitness activities, promoting a culture of health and well-being among the populace. Secondly, it sought to reinforce the narrative of Soviet superiority in all spheres of human endeavor, including sports, as a reflection of the superiority of the socialist system over its capitalist adversaries. Moreover, the poster likely functioned as a form of soft power, showcasing the achievements of Soviet sports to both domestic and international audiences. By highlighting the success of Soviet athletes on the world stage, the poster aimed to bolster the Soviet Union's image as a global superpower and a leader in sports excellence.
