Soviet Chine

Mounted One sheet, Soviet propaganda poster from 1950 by the artist Viktor Koretsky. The poster's text, written in Russian, translates to "Glory to the great Chinese people who won freedom, independence, and happiness!". The poster was created to celebrate the newly established People's Republic of China and the friendship between the Soviet and Chinese peoples. The poster depicts a Chinese family—a man with a rifle, a woman, and a child—standing in front of a red background with a star, which is a symbol of the People's Republic of China. The artwork is an example of the Soviet-style propaganda posters that were used during the early years of the People's Republic of China to promote communist ideals and show solidarity between the two nations.
