Unframed reproduction of 1974 Soviet Propaganda Poster – “The USSR is a Socialist State of Labourers and Peasants” – Mikhail Akopyants

A fine art reproduction of a striking piece of Brezhnev-era Soviet propaganda — the 1974 poster by Mikhail Akopyants bearing one of the foundational ideological declarations of the USSR: «CCCP — социалистическое государство рабочих и крестьян» — “The USSR is a Socialist State of Labourers and Peasants.” Printed on museum-quality matte paper, ready to frame to your own specification.

Designed by Mikhail Akopyants, an Armenian artist working within the Soviet graphic tradition, and published in Kyiv, Ukrainian SSR — a dual provenance that reflects the pan-Soviet nature of the propaganda apparatus. A direct quotation from the Soviet Constitution, rendered in the authoritative typographic style of the Brezhnev era.
