One sheet This 1972 Soviet propaganda poster, titled
"Our Women Are With Us!", was designed by the artist G. Palkin.
The artwork features three distinct panels illustrating the integral role of women in the Soviet military and defense efforts:
The Left Panel: Depicts a woman in a military uniform (likely the Red Army, denoted by the red star on her cap) alongside a cavalryman on horseback.
The Center Panel: Shows a woman in a driver's or pilot's hood gripping a steering wheel, symbolizing women's involvement in mechanized warfare and transportation.
The Right Panel: Features a woman in a headscarf using optical equipment, possibly a rangefinder or surveyor's tool, while a helicopter or aircraft flies overhead in the background.
The slogan at the bottom, translates to "Our (female) friends/companions are with us" or "Our women are with us!". The poster was published in the USSR to emphasize gender equality in the defense of the state during the later Soviet era. |
