About the Item

The original Soviet propaganda poster commemorating the 24th anniversary of International Youth Day is a compelling representation of post-World War II sentiment and the ongoing fight against fascism. This poster features a bold, striking image of two soldiers, one in a Soviet military uniform and the other likely representing a soldier from another nation within the Soviet bloc, charging forward with bayonets fixed on their rifles. The imagery suggests unity and determination in the fight for peace, freedom, and democracy. The text at the top of the poster, "Jaşasın XXIV-nci Halkara Jaşlar Gyni!" translates to "Long Live the 24th International Youth Day!" This exclamation celebrates the spirit and solidarity of youth around the world. The text at the bottom, "Parahatçylyk. Azatlyk ve Demokratija ugrunda göreşelin, faşizme ve uruşa garş göreşelin!" translates to "Let us fight for peace, freedom, and democracy, and against fascism and war!" This powerful call to action underscores the ongoing struggle against oppression and the importance of maintaining vigilance against the resurgence of fascist ideologies. The poster's design, with its dynamic composition and dramatic use of color, serves as a visual rallying cry for unity and resistance. The red backdrop and the soldiers' determined expressions convey a sense of urgency and resolve. The depiction of the enemy in the lower right corner, overwhelmed and defeated, reinforces the poster's message of triumph over fascism. Produced during a time when the Soviet Union was solidifying its influence over Eastern Europe and promoting socialist ideals globally, this poster is a reflection of the broader geopolitical context of the late 1940s. It aimed to inspire and mobilize young people within the Soviet sphere of influence, emphasizing the collective effort needed to build a peaceful and democratic world free from fascist threats.

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...
