Original 1976 Soviet Poster – Artist V. Victorov – "Glory to the Great October!" – Hammer & Sickle, Kremlin Star

A commanding piece of Soviet visual culture, this large-format original poster was published in Moscow in 1976 by Издательство «Плакат» (Plakat Publishing House) to mark the anniversary of the October Revolution. Designed by V. Victorov (В. Викторов), it distils the iconography of Soviet statehood into a single, electrifying image: the hammer and sickle rising before a glowing ruby Kremlin star, set against a warm gradient that moves from deep crimson to a radiant orange-yellow halo.

Originally designed for public display in government halls, cultural centres, and city squares across the Union, its monumental scale and heroic vertical composition translate effortlessly into contemporary interiors — a bold, historically resonant focal point for industrial lofts, brutalist-influenced spaces, or any room that demands presence.

Text on poster: СЛАВА ВЕЛИКОМУ ОКТЯБРЮ! — Glory to the Great October!
