About the Item
This original circa 1970 Soviet propaganda poster, titled Le capitaliste et le banquier ont peur de ce symbole - Paix !, was created by Sergei Vladimirovich Mikhalkov, a prominent Russian and Soviet poet and writer. Mikhalkov is notably recognized for authoring the lyrics of the Soviet Union's National Anthem in 1944 and revising them in 1977 to remove references to Stalin.
The poster serves as a compelling example of Cold War-era Soviet propaganda, emphasizing the ideological struggle between capitalism and communism. Its message suggests that capitalists and bankers fear the symbol of peace, implying that true peace aligns with communist ideals, which were portrayed as threats to capitalist structures.
Produced during a period marked by intense geopolitical tensions, this piece reflects the Soviet Union's efforts to promote its political ideology and critique capitalist societies. It stands as a significant artifact from the Cold War, offering insight into the era's propaganda strategies and the broader cultural and political discourse of the time.

Original 1967 Soviet propaganda poster - We will never be forgotten
Located in PARIS, FR
This original 1967 Soviet propaganda poster captures the unwavering spirit of Soviet resilience and unity. Featuring a soldier wrapped in a winter uniform, holding a rifle, and a young woman in a red headscarf, the artwork symbolizes the strength and sacrifice of both the Soviet military and its dedicated civilian workforce. Their expressions are solemn yet determined, reflecting a shared commitment to the ideals of the Soviet state.
Rendered in a striking, graphic style, the poster employs a limited yet powerful palette of red, black, and beige. The bold red accents emphasize Soviet patriotism, drawing attention to key elements such as the soldier’s star-adorned cap and the young woman’s scarf, which represents the Komsomol youth movement. The rough, expressive linework adds intensity to the composition, reinforcing the themes of struggle and perseverance.
The text, wrapping around the image in bold red letters, translates to: "We will never be forgotten because, shaping the future of the entire planet, we embody the word ‘Human.’" This message aligns with the Soviet ideology of collective progress, where individuals contribute to the greater good of humanity through their labor and dedication. The poster not only honors past sacrifices but also looks ahead, reinforcing the idea that Soviet citizens were shaping history.
During the late 1960s, Soviet propaganda art...
