Unframed Facsimile of 1975 Soviet May Day Propaganda Poster – “Decisions of the 25th CPSU Congress into Life!”

A fine art reproduction of an original 1975 Soviet May Day propaganda poster, issued to mark 1 May — the Day of International Workers’ Solidarity. Printed on museum-quality matte paper, ready to frame to your own specification.

A complex, multi-panel composition built around a massive crimson numeral “1”, the design weaves together May Day solidarity motifs with the Brezhnev-era directive to implement the decisions of the 25th Congress of the CPSU and the 10th Five-Year Plan. The iconographic programme spans four visual zones: a global sphere enveloped in cherry blossoms; the central directive text «РЕШЕНИЯ XXV СЪЕЗДА КПСС — В ЖИЗНЬ!» set above a blue industrial blueprint; a colossal worker carrying a red banner bearing the profiles of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin; and a multi-national solidarity handshake anchored by «МИР, ТРУД, МАЙ». The Kremlin’s Spasskaya Tower and construction cranes complete the composition.
