Original poster from 1971 - 24th Congress of the Communist Party of the USSR

1971

About the Item

This striking Soviet poster from 1971 proudly celebrates the achievements of the working class in honor of the 24th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). The bold caption reads: “24 съезду КПСС – наши трудовые победы!” (“To the 24th Congress of the CPSU – our labour victories!”), highlighting the central role of industrial progress in the socialist project. In the foreground stands a welder, heroic and determined, portrayed in powerful shades of red and black. His direct gaze and firm posture symbolize the pride and dignity of the Soviet worker. Behind him rises a complex industrial landscape—cranes, girders, and scaffolding—set in a monochrome palette that contrasts with the bright red steel beams forming an abstract “XXIV”, a visual reference to the 24th Congress. The design cleverly blends constructivist geometry with socialist realism, conveying both ideological clarity and artistic strength. Small silhouettes of workers march in the background, reinforcing the message of collective effort, discipline, and unity under the Communist ideal. Posters like this were designed not only to inspire the masses to meet production targets, but also to affirm the link between industrial labor and Soviet identity. The glorification of the worker—especially one engaged in heavy industry—was a powerful motif of the Brezhnev era, reflecting both political messaging and aspirational imagery. Today, this poster stands as a powerful visual artifact of Soviet political art, encapsulating the optimism, discipline, and symbolic grandeur of 1970s state propaganda.
