About the Item

In this thunderous 1967 poster, Soviet master Victor Koretsky delivers one of his most powerful visual manifestos. Titled Да здравствует мировая система социализма! (“Long live the world system of socialism!”), the image surges with revolutionary heat and industrial might. At the center: two colossal hands gripping the iconic hammer and sickle, the emblems of labor and unity. Koretsky renders them with almost sculptural realism—muscular, resolute, forged in the furnace of progress. Behind them, a partially desaturated steelworks looms in the distance, as if being overrun by the crimson tide of ideology. The red isn't just color—it's movement, momentum, mission. This is propaganda as poetry. Koretsky, known for fusing photorealism with striking abstraction, doesn’t just show socialism—he glorifies it, exalts it, lifts it into myth. The industrial setting grounds the piece in the reality of the Soviet Five-Year Plans, but the composition pushes into the heroic, the symbolic. Created during the Cold War's ideological apex, this poster was part of a visual campaign to project international socialist solidarity—a call to workers across borders to rise, build, and believe. In Koretsky’s hands, the revolution isn’t just a policy. It’s a force of nature, ready to be wielded. USSR - Propaganda - Russia
