Framed reproduction of 1973 Soviet May Day Poster – Artist V. Konyukhov – Lenizdat, Leningrad

A museum-quality framed reproduction of a classic piece of Soviet Socialist Realism — the 1973 May Day poster by V. G. Konyukhov, published in Leningrad by Lenizdat.

The image is optimistic and bold: a worker embraces the globe beneath the “1 МАЯ” banner, projecting the international solidarity that defined the Soviet May Day aesthetic. The original printing plate information documents a print run of just 10,000 copies — making this a genuinely scarce design from the early 1970s Soviet graphic tradition.
