RUSSIAN SOVIET PROPAGANDA POSTER BY A DRUZHKOV - A Soviet propaganda poster features the text of The Internationale, the famous socialist anthem. From 1922 to 1944, it served as the national anthem of the Soviet Union before becoming the official hymn of the Communist Party. The text is framed by grand red stage curtains with golden tassels, evoking a sense of solemnity and triumph. At the top is a waving Red Banner, and at the bottom are wheat stalks and laurel branches, traditional Soviet symbols for labor and glory. The layout and typography are characteristic of the Socialist Realism style of the 1930s to 1950s. Such posters were standard decor for Red Corners, schools, and party administrative offices.
