Arkhipova – Vologda Komsomol","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn exceptionally rare original from the regional margins of Soviet youth culture, this 1985 event poster announces the «Студенческая Весна ’85» (Student Spring ’85) — a city-wide exhibition of amateur creative arts for students of higher and specialised secondary education in Vologda. Published in March 1985 by the Vologda City Committee of the VLKSM — the Komsomol, the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League and the USSR’s mass youth organisation for citizens aged 14 to 28 — the festival carried dual cultural significance: it was dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War, and it coincided with the year Moscow hosted the landmark 12th World Festival of Youth and Students — an event that injected a wave of internationalism, artistic freedom, and fresh graphic energy across the USSR, echoed here in this regional celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the design is one of the most iconic emblems of mid-1980s Soviet visual culture: the stylised five-petalled flower enclosing a globe and a peace dove, originally created by designer Lateef Kazbekov for the World Youth Festival. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-subtree=\"aimfl,mfl\"\u003e(Lateef\/Latif Kazbekov is an acclaimed Russian-Kazakhstani painter and graphic artist, widely known for his intricate paper objects, large-scale watercolors, and over 70 children's book illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e.
