A striking and encyclopaedic piece of late-Soviet graphic art — an original propaganda poster from the late 1970s or early 1980s bearing the slogan “С НОВЫМИ ТРУДОВЫМИ УСПЕХАМИ!” (“To New Labor Successes!”), produced by the Soviet state publishing system.

The central composition presents three stylised portraits embodying the foundational pillars of the Soviet workforce: a construction worker in a red hard hat, a young female agricultural or industrial labourer, and an intellectual engineer in classic 1970s frame glasses — all gazing confidently toward the horizon before a giant stylised evergreen tree crowned with a glowing red Kremlin star, the worker holding a crimson banner bearing the gold hammer and sickle. What elevates this poster beyond the standard agitprop formula is its extraordinary border: a dense grid of blueprint-style tiles, each depicting a distinct sector of the Soviet economy — heavy machinery, industrial cranes, electrical towers, shipping docks, oil rigs, early computer terminals, cattle farming, wheat harvesting, maritime fishing fleets, rail networks, and high-rise urban engineering.

The poster functions simultaneously as a motivational broadside and a visual inventory of the late-Soviet industrial state. An exceptional piece for collectors of Soviet history, mid-century labour graphics, or brutalist design archives.
