Potapov","description":"\u003cp\u003eA bold and historically resonant original from the final decade of the Soviet era, this 1980 military propaganda poster was published by Voenizdat (Воениздат) — the Military Publishing House of the Ministry of Defence of the USSR — and designed by V. V. Potapov, a prolific graphic artist known for his contributions to Soviet military and patriotic print culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is structured around a large St. George’s ribbon-styled star containing three heroic figures: a cosmonaut, a naval officer, and a soldier — representing the technological, maritime, and ground forces of the Soviet Armed Forces. Below them, the Order of the Patriotic War anchors the design against a deep red field filled with silhouettes of advancing tanks, aircraft, and infantry. The headline reads: «Слава советскому воину-победителю!» — Glory to the Soviet Warrior-Winner!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe poster situates the modern Soviet armed forces within the triumphant legacy of the Great Patriotic War (World War II) — a rhetorical move central to late-Brezhnev-era military culture, which increasingly drew on WWII memory to legitimise the USSR’s military posture during the height of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced at a print run of 53,000 copies. A handwritten notation on the verso — «ВОЕН. КАБ.» (Military Cabinet) — confirms this piece was once part of an institutional collection, a layer of provenance rarely found on the open market.\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: V.
