Verbitskiy (Г.Н. Вербицкий), published in Kyiv by the Ukrainian state publisher \u003cem\u003eMolod\u003c\/em\u003e (Молодь \/ Youth) and directed at the youth of the Ukrainian SSR during the 11th Five-Year Plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is a masterclass in late-Soviet graphic industrialism: a young construction worker operating heavy machinery, silhouetted against a sharp geometric backdrop of high-rise developments, structural grids, and industrial cranes — rendered in punchy golden yellows and deep blues with bold, flat colour-blocking that edges toward the pop-adjacent graphic language of the mid-1980s. The top left corner bears the blue emblem of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Komsomol\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eKomsomol\u003c\/a\u003e (Young Communist League) with the legend \u003cem\u003e“Комсомольская путёвка”\u003c\/em\u003e (“Komsomol Travel Ticket”) — a reference to the state-sponsored youth labour assignments that dispatched hundreds of thousands of young Soviet citizens to construction sites across the USSR. The call to action along the bottom margin leaves no ambiguity: \u003cstrong\u003e“ЮНОШИ И ДЕВУШКИ!
