Poster Details
Title (English): "For the Motherland! For Stalin!"
Year Issued: 1941
Artists: The poster is attributed to Nikolai Svinenko, with some sources also mentioning Irakli Toidze as the artist for different versions of the slogan.
Context: The image features Red Army soldiers with bayoneted rifles charging forward alongside military tanks, symbolizing the defense of the Soviet Union against the German invasion. The slogan served to inspire patriotism and resistance among the populace and soldiers.
The tank depicted in the 1941 "For the Motherland! For Stalin!" poster is widely considered to be a
T-34 medium tank.
Key Identification Features
The T-34 was a highly effective tank introduced in 1940 and came as a "nasty surprise" to German forces during the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa).
It featured an excellent balance of mobility, sloped armor (which was very advanced at the time), and a powerful 76.2 mm main gun.
While other tanks like the KV-1 heavy tank were also in service, the T-34's iconic design and significant impact on the early war are strongly associated with Soviet propaganda of this era.
