Poster Plakat
Poster of the Week
"1944-1954 Honor and glory to the 10th anniversary of the Slovak national uprising!"
This Czech language poster commemorates the ten-year anniversary of the Slovenské národné povstanie (Slovak National Uprising) of August 1944. A Soviet soldier and a Slovak partisan are seen as comrades in arms against Germany.
After World War II, the Soviet Union held political claim to much of Czechoslovakia. In June 1945, the eastern section of the nation (Subcarpathian Ruthenia) was annexed to the USSR and in 1948, Czechoslovakia became a "People's Republic" with a quasi-communist political structure. In 1960, the nation officially became the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
