About the Item

In this 1967 original Soviet propaganda poster, master visual agitator Viktor Koretsky fuses technological idealism with heroic humanism, capturing the full ideological thrust of Soviet ambition during the Space Age. At the center is a towering, sculptural figure—part human, part symbol—launching skyward with arm outstretched, as though breaching the cosmos itself. He embodies the Soviet worker-hero, no longer bound to the Earth, but propelled by atomic energy, steel, and revolutionary purpose. Radiating around him are atomic orbits—not chaotic but orchestrated—along with high-tension towers, wheat patterns, and bolts of energy. These elements don’t merely illustrate progress; they declare that Soviet science, agriculture, and industry are one unified force driving humanity forward. Emblazoned boldly across the rising form is the slogan: "Великий советский народ строит коммунизм!" (The great Soviet people are building communism!) The composition is steeped in Koretsky’s signature photomontage-meets-surrealism aesthetic, rendered in an intense palette of deep reds and charcoal greys, punctuated by hard geometric whites. This color scheme echoes both the Soviet flag and the fervor of revolutionary momentum. Created during the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution, this poster is not just a call to action—it’s a celebration of Soviet destiny. It mythologizes the USSR as the vanguard of global progress, where human ingenuity and state power converge in a cosmic mission. Koretsky, always the visual strategist, composes the figure as both sculpture and motion—a living monument whose trajectory mirrors a rocket launch, blending Leninist vision with space-race aesthetics. Today, this poster stands as a striking artifact of Cold War-era visual propaganda, a bold fusion of ideology, science fiction, and state-sponsored optimism. It reminds us of a moment when the future was not just imagined, but politically engineered—and gloriously illustrated.
