1944 RUSSIAN SOVIET ERA PROPAGANDA POSTER - A Russian Soviet era propaganda poster. It features an older man with a long white beard and fur hat, standing next to a younger woman with a headscarf and a smile. They are both holding tools - the man with a pickaxe, the woman with a shovel. In the background on the left, a road and a rural landscape with trees and telegraph poles are visible. Inscribed in Russian: COLLECTIVE FARMERS! RESTORATION OF ROADS AND BRIDGES - OUR DUTY TO THE MOTHERLAND! This is a call to action, appealing to the collective farmers to dedicate their efforts to restoring infrastructure damaged, presumably during the war. This is presented as a patriotic duty. The image of the older and younger generations working together reinforces the idea of unity and collective effort toward rebuilding the country.
