Timofey Lyaschuk Original Ukranian Soviet Art Silk Screen Poster - USSR - 1967

About the Item

"Rebuilding a Nation – The Role of Soviet Women in Post-War Reconstruction" This Original Soviet Silk Screen-Printed Art Poster is a rare collector’s item, created in limited editions and numbered 859 by the Union of Artists of the USSR. It showcases the pivotal role of Soviet women in the labor force during the challenging post-World War II reconstruction period. Crafted by Timofey Anatolevich Lyaschuk, this poster is a tribute to the women who powered Soviet industry and helped rebuild their nation from the ground up. The powerful imagery of women operating industrial machinery, highlighted by Lenin’s commanding presence at the top, symbolizes the Soviet ideals of unity, resilience, and progress. These women aren’t just workers—they’re heroes of the labor front, leading the charge in rebuilding cities, factories, and infrastructure devastated by war. Feel the collective energy of the workers depicted, their synchronized efforts reflecting the spirit of socialist realism. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition bring to life the sense of urgency and purpose that drove the Soviet people to triumph in the face of adversity. Hang this piece in your home or office and let it serve as a reminder of the power of collective labor and unity. You too can draw inspiration from these heroes as they worked tirelessly for the future. The written text on the poster is in Ukrainian and says: Lenin 1946-1950. "We are building." "You, our youth, in a rush towards the new, paved the way on the labour front." The artist's name, Timofey Anatolevich Lyaschuk, is printed on the poster. Published by the "Agitplakat" Union of Artists of the Ukrainian SSR. This artwork is the creation of Timofey Anatolevich Lyaschuk (1930-2015), a renowned Ukrainian artist. Lyaschuk was a painter, graphic artist, poster artist and a member of the Union of Artists of the Ukrainian SSR. In 1967, he was awarded the Diploma of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, and in 1969, he was recognized as an Honored Artist of Ukraine. In 2000, he received the Commendation of the President of Ukraine for his contributions to the arts. 1946-1950 marked the post-World War II reconstruction period in the Soviet Union. After the war, the USSR faced enormous challenges, including rebuilding cities, factories, and infrastructure devastated during the conflict. This poster is a call to action for the Soviet people, especially the young women, to participate in the country's reconstruction efforts. Lenin's Portrait: Lenin's face is prominently displayed at the top of the poster, signifying the importance of his legacy. Even after he died in 1924, Lenin remained the most essential symbol of Soviet ideology, representing the founding of the Soviet state and the triumph of socialism. Workers: The poster features stylised figures of women using industrial machinery, symbolising the importance of labour, specifically industrial work, in the post-war Soviet Union. The workers, depicted in synchronised action, emphasise collective effort and unity. Women, who were an important part of the workforce during this period, are a testament to the resilience and strength of the Soviet people in the face of war's devastation. The focus on machinery reflects the importance of industrialisation in the Soviet economy, which was part of the effort to rebuild and modernise the country. Ukrainian Text: The text at the bottom reads in Ukrainian: "You, our youth, in a new impulse, lead the front of labour." This is a motivational message directed at the young generation, urging them to take the lead in rebuilding the country after World War II's destruction. It underscores the pivotal role the youth played in the future of the Soviet state, inspiring them to contribute to the reconstruction efforts. Ukraine, one of the most war-ravaged regions of the Soviet Union, played a key role in the reconstruction efforts due to its significant industrial and agricultural capacity. The poster, with its Ukrainian text and emphasis on the youth leading the front of labour, reflects the importance of regions like Ukraine in the Soviet Union's post-war reconstruction. Lenin's Banner: The banner with the years 1946-1950 and Lenin's portrait suggests this is tied to the first post-war Five-Year Plan (1946-1950). These plans were central to Soviet economic policy, setting ambitious industrial production and economic development targets. The poster, therefore, serves as a visual representation of the goals and aspirations of this economic plan. Artistic Style: Constructivist and Socialist Realism Influences: The geometric forms and solid and stylised lines are influenced by constructivism, an art movement that emphasises abstraction, modernity, and industrial progress. This style was well-suited to posters that needed to convey power and urgency. The figures themselves are simplified and idealised, typical of socialist realism, the dominant artistic style in the Soviet Union at the time. Socialist realism aimed to depict the working class as heroic and glorify the worker's role in building socialism. Dynamic Composition: The figures are arranged diagonally, forward-leaning, emphasising progress and momentum. This dynamic posture is typical in Soviet propaganda art, symbolising the drive toward a better future through collective labour. Komsomol The All-Union Leninist Young Communist League (Russian: Всесою́зный ле́нинский коммунисти́ческий сою́з молодёжи (ВЛКСМ)), usually known as Komsomol (Russian: Комсомо́л, a syllabic abbreviation of the Russian kommunisticheskiy soyuz molodyozhi), was a political youth organization in the Soviet Union. It is sometimes described as the youth division of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). However, it was officially independent and referred to as "the helper and the reserve of the CPSU." In its earliest form, the Komsomol was established in urban centres in 1918. During its early years, it was a Russian organization known as the Russian Young Communist League or RKSM. In 1922, with the unification of the USSR, it was reformed into an all-union agency, the youth division of the All-Union Communist Party. The Komsomol of Ukraine—an integral part of the All-Union Lenin Youth Union—celebrates its glorious tenth anniversary. Its heroic path is inextricably linked with the struggle of the Soviet people under the leadership of the Communist Party for the victory of socialism and communism. Those who marched in the ranks of the Komsomol on the fronts of the Civil Front and during the years of the Five-Year Plans, who forged a victory over fascism at the front and in the rear, who rebuilt the national economy after the Great Patriotic War, covered themselves with immortality, mastered virgin land, and built new mines, factories, and power plants. On the half-century anniversary, the glorious brainchild of the native Leninist party, the Komsomol of Ukraine, meets the leaders of communism in the first ranks. Together with everyone in the family, it is preparing to meet the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin with dignity. Young men and women who proudly wear Komsomol tickets dedicate their paintings and sculptures to the artists of Ukraine. Their works vividly embody the images of those devoted to communism, who, with their initiative and inexhaustible energy, earned the utmost respect for the Soviet family.
