Russian (Soviet) posters during the Second World War

Poster is an example of realistic art - a glimpse of generalized reality splashed onto a sheet of paper. It is laconic, dynamic and easy to understand, omnipresent and decorative. It's both a chronicler and a powerful tool of monumental propaganda. Political poster played a great role in the anti-fascist struggle. Poster art developed rapidly during the war, giving rise to new forms of expression.

The posters of 1941-1945 exerted profound influence on the development of this branch of pictorial propaganda.
War-time posters are very emotional, psychologically sharp, full of pathetic wrath. They focus on man rather than symbols. To enhance the emotional message, a human figure is usually placed in the foreground. It's a lyrical story about living heroes. No symbol can compare by its ideological influence with the image of an attacking soldier or the image of the Motherland - a woman 0with a stern face and anxious look, stretching out the text of a military oath. Often a poster was created by means of generalizing a certain prototype.

Soviet posterists such as V. Ivanov, A. Kokorekin, V. Koretsky, I. Toidze, D. Shmarinov, P. Sokolov-Skalya, V. Deni and the Kukryniks team left behind vivid images showing the unbending will of Soviet (Read that as Russian) people who stood up staunchly for their Motherland.
