Poster Plakat
Poster of the Week
"Long live the union of workers and farmers, the base of soviet power!"
At the 40th anniversary of the October Revolution, the Soviet Union had a much to celebrate. The nation overcame the extreme austerity it endured in the wartime era, Josef Stalin's death in 1953 ushered in a loosening of cultural and political constraints, and post-war development combined with large-scale deforestation projects transformed lonely acres into immense housing tracts for families. Even though most food was rationed into the 1950s, life in the USSR had improved since the revolution of 1917.
This poster was designed by Igor Kominarets.
