About the Item

The original Soviet poster titled "Beaucoup pensent, mais ne savent pas ce que notre charbon fournit !" ("Many think, but do not know what our coal provides!") was created in 1972 as a piece of propaganda aimed at highlighting the importance and benefits of coal production in the Soviet Union. Crafted during the height of the Cold War era, the poster serves as a visual tool to promote the significance of coal as a vital resource for the Soviet economy and society. At the forefront of the design is a bold and captivating image depicting a miner working diligently in a coal mine. The miner's heroic stance and determined expression convey a sense of pride and purpose in the work of extracting coal, symbolizing the dedication of Soviet laborers to the nation's industrial progress. In addition to its visual components, the poster likely features text that reinforces its message, such as slogans extolling the virtues of coal production or statistics highlighting the contributions of the coal industry to the Soviet economy. These textual elements serve to further educate viewers about the importance of coal and to rally support for continued investment in coal mining and production.
