{"product_id":"8","title":"Original 1970s Soviet May Day Propaganda Poster – \"Peace, Labor, May\" – International Solidarity Graphic – 65 × 40 cm \/ 25.6 × 15.7 in","description":"\u003cp\u003eA visually explosive artifact of late-Soviet graphic design — an original May Day propaganda poster from the mid-to-late 1970s, bearing the legendary three-word slogan \u003cstrong\u003e“МИР • ТРУД • МАЙ”\u003c\/strong\u003e (“Peace • Labor • May”), produced by the Soviet state publishing system during the Brezhnev era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition marks a decisive shift away from the stern, painterly Socialist Realism of earlier decades. In its place: flat colour blocks, clean ink overlays, and sharp stylised line work — the graphic language of the mid-to-late 1970s \u003cem\u003ePlakat\u003c\/em\u003e school at its most confident. The central image presents idealised profile portraits of young workers gazing toward a bright future against an industrial architectural skyline. To the right, a heavy geometric block carries the slogan in bold Cyrillic typography that functions as a design element in its own right. To the left, a festival of international solidarity — crowds holding May Day banners in Russian, English, French, and German — frames the composition with a rare multilingual openness that speaks directly to the USSR’s self-image as the vanguard of global working-class unity. The primary reds, yellows, and oranges are saturated and vivid, the palette of optimism. The artist is unknown; the work is unsigned. Given the distinct shift toward vibrant graphic illustration over rigid realism, the print is attributed to the mid-to-late 1970s Soviet \u003cem\u003ePlakat\u003c\/em\u003e era on stylistic grounds. Its horizontal format — 65 × 40 cm — is unusual and makes it a striking focal point over a sideboard, desk, or within a gallery wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Guaranteed Original Vintage Poster — not a modern reprint or reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: Unknown (unsigned)\u003cbr\u003e\nSlogan: \u003cem\u003eМир • Труд • Май\u003c\/em\u003e (“Peace • Labor • May”)\u003cbr\u003e\nEstimated decade: Mid-to-late 1970s\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Soviet state publishing system (attributed \u003cem\u003ePlakat\u003c\/em\u003e era), USSR\u003cbr\u003e\nOrigin: USSR\u003cbr\u003e\nSize: 65 × 40 cm (25.6 × 15.7″) — horizontal medium format\u003cbr\u003e\nMedium: Original offset lithograph on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall: Excellent (Vintage Grade A-)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear: Minimal edge wear and very light handling creases consistent with paper of this age.
