Poster Plakat
Poster of the Week
Aircraft searchlights illuminate the sky forming the number 28 in honor of the 28th anniversary of the October Revolution.
By November 1945, and at the time of the anniversary, the USSR had announced they were on the verge of possessing an atomic bomb, a capability that altered international relations for the next 46 years until the collapse of the USSR. The Red Army soldier illustrated on this poster appears to be from one of the Central Asian republics, and he wears a World War II victory medal on his right side along with other medals. On his left side is a medal similar in its design to the “Order of the Red Banner”.
Mikhail Abramovich Gordon (1918-2003) designed this poster.
