About the Item

"Strength and Unity: The Soviet Youth's Triumph During WWII" Step into the heroic past with this Original Soviet Silk Screen-Printed Poster, meticulously crafted and rare in availability. Numbered 706 by the Union of Artists of the USSR, this collectible piece not only embodies the artistic precision of the Soviet era but also connects you with the strength and determination of Komsomol members who shaped the Soviet Union’s history. Created by renowned Ukrainian artist Timofey Anatolevich Lyaschuk, this powerful artwork immortalizes the contributions of Soviet youth during the Great Patriotic War and beyond. The bold red-and-white design draws you in, depicting a dynamic scene of young men marching forward—armed with the tools of labor and revolution. With Lenin’s portrait overseeing their march, this poster isn’t just a piece of art—it’s a tribute to resilience, unity, and leadership. Hang this masterpiece in your space and feel the energy of those who came before you, who—like the bold figure leading the charge—pushed forward with unstoppable force. Let the angular lines and symbolic imagery remind you of the unstoppable motion toward progress. The written text on the poster is in Ukrainian and says: Lenin 1941-1945. "Glory to the Komonsol!" The name of the artist 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 or weapon, symbolising labour or military service. His posture exudes strength, determination, and leadership, embodying the spirit of the Soviet youth who contributed to the nation’s defence and industrial success. Behind him are two other men in similar poses, marching in unison. They are smaller in scale but equally determined. Their uniforms and headgear suggest they are soldiers or workers, representing the role of Komsomol members in the Soviet Union's military and industrial efforts. The figures all face the same direction, emphasizing 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 symbolizes the ideological and revolutionary leadership that inspired the Komsomol’s mission. The date "1941–1945" on a ribbon 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 large central figure and the smaller background figures further emphasizes the leadership role of Soviet youth in this collective struggle. Bold Use of Colors: The poster uses a red and white colour scheme, with the background in black. Red, as the dominant colour, symbolizes the revolution, communism, and the strength of the Soviet people. Using white to outline and highlight the figures adds sharpness and clarity to their forms, ensuring they stand out against the bold black background. The bold use of these colours accentuates the strength and triumph of the Soviet youth. The black areas behind the figures might represent danger or struggle. In contrast, the red colour of the figures represents the triumph and unity of the Soviet youth in overcoming these challenges. Text: The text at the bottom reads "СЛАВА ВЛКСМ!" ("Glory to VLKSM!"), celebrating the youth organization'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 Military and Labor Contributions: The inclusion of figures in both military and industrial roles emphasizes the dual contributions of Soviet youth to both the defense of the nation during World War II and the rebuilding efforts that followed. The large figure leading the way symbolizes 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—whether that be defending the nation or 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 the notion 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 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.
