"Long Live the 2nd Congress of the Hungarian Workers Party."

The Workers Party Congress was held February 24 to March 2, 1951. The politician depicted on the poster is Matyas Rakosi, leader of Hungary's Communist Party from 1945 to 1956 who also held the leadership post in the Hungarian Workers Party (1948-56). He served as Prime Minister of Hungary from 1952-53. At the time this poster was issued, Hungary was part of the Comecon (Council for Mutual Economic Assistance) an economic partnership created in 1949 partly in response to the post-war economic Marshall Plan devised by the United States for Western Europe. The Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and Romania were Comecon's founding partners.

This poster is in Hungarian language and it was published in Hungary.
