About the Item

"Building a Soviet Future – Glory to the Youth" Celebrate the power of the Soviet youth with this rare and Original Soviet Silk Screen-Printed Art Poster, numbered 858 by the Union of Artists of the USSR. This dynamic artwork captures a pivotal time when Komsomol members, under the guidance of Lenin’s revolutionary vision, worked tirelessly to build a renewed state. Created by Timofey Anatolevich Lyaschuk, this striking piece immortalizes the role of young Soviet workers in shaping a modern, industrialized nation. Feel the strength and unity of the central figure, a powerful worker leading the march with pride and determination. Behind him, the silhouettes of fellow workers reflect a collective drive toward progress—each step forward representing the effort of countless young Soviets who toiled to create a brighter future. With sharp, geometric lines and vivid Soviet colours, this poster reflects the spirit of optimism, energy, and heroism. It is a symbol of leadership in labor and the unstoppable march toward a better tomorrow. Display this piece and feel connected to a generation that believed in collective effort and the enduring power of youth. Let it serve as a daily reminder that the future is built by those who lead with strength and unity. The written text on the poster is in Ukrainian and says: CCCP 1921-1931. "You, the youth, have increased the glory by building a renewed state." 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. Central Figures: A primary figure is a muscular man in a dynamic, forward-moving pose, prominently wielding a tool symbolising labour. His posture exudes strength, determination, and leadership, embodying the spirit of the Soviet youth who contributed to the nation's industrial success. Behind him are two other men in similar poses, working in unison. They are smaller in scale but equally determined. Their uniforms and headgear suggest they are workers, representing the role of Komsomol members in the Soviet Union's industrial efforts. The figures face the same direction, emphasising unity of purpose and collective action. Their bodies' angular, simplified shapes create a sense of momentum and forward thrust, suggesting progress and a relentless drive toward the future. Lenin Symbolism: Vladimir Lenin's portrait is featured at the top of the poster inside a medallion encircled by laurel leaves, the same as the emblem of VLKSM. This portrait is positioned above the marching figures, watching over them like a guiding force. Lenin symbolises the ideological and revolutionary leadership that inspired the Komsomol's mission. The date "1941–1945" next to Lenin's portrait references the Great Patriotic War (World War II). This inclusion links the Komsomol to the heroic efforts of the Soviet Union during the war, honouring the contributions of the youth in both military and labour contexts during the nation's struggle against Nazi Germany. Powerful Motion and Imagery: The poster's sharp diagonal lines create a sense of powerful forward motion. This visual technique is common in Soviet propaganda art, designed to invoke a sense of action, dynamism, and purpose. The contrast between the prominent central figure and the smaller background figures further emphasises the leadership role of Soviet youth in this collective struggle. Text: The text at the bottom reads "СЛАВА ВЛКСМ!" ("Glory to VLKSM!"), celebrating the youth organisation's contributions to the Soviet Union's military and industrial victories. Using large, bold letters reinforces the message of strength and pride. Symbolism and Themes: The inclusion of figures in working roles emphasises the dual contributions of Soviet youth to both the defence of the nation during World War II and the rebuilding efforts that followed. The prominent figure leading the way symbolises the strength and resolve of these youth. Collective Unity: The uniformity of the figures' movement underscores the collective power of the Soviet people, particularly the youth, in working towards a common goal—building a communist future. This collective unity is a testament to the strength of the Soviet people. Lenin as a Guiding Force: The portrait of Lenin, positioned above the figures, constantly reminds us of the ideological foundation of the youth movement. The connection to Lenin's legacy reinforces that the Komsomol carries forward his revolutionary ideals, making his influence palpable in the artwork. 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 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.
