{"product_id":"untitled-apr10_22-18","title":"Original 1975 Soviet May Day Poster – Artist Alexei Kokorekin – 'Spring of Victory'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an original 1975 large-format Soviet poster, published in Moscow by Izobrazitelnoye Iskusstvo to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War — one of the most significant dates in the Soviet calendar. The central artwork reproduces the iconic May 1, 1945 poster by Alexei Kokorekin, one of the most celebrated graphic artists of the Soviet era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKokorekin’s original captured the euphoria of that extraordinary spring — the convergence of May Day, the workers’ holiday, with the imminent end of the war. The image blends the triumphant red flag of the Soviet Union with delicate white spring blossoms, creating a rare moment of lyrical softness within the typically bold language of Soviet propaganda. It is a piece that feels less like a political statement and more like a collective exhale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished thirty years later as a deliberate commemorative edition, this 1975 print carries a double weight: the original moment of 1945, and the Brezhnev era’s conscious act of remembrance. Victory Day posters from this anniversary series are increasingly sought after by collectors of Soviet graphic art and Second World War memorabilia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eText on poster (translated from Russian): “So it was thirty years ago, when the Spring of Victory, Peace, and Friendship was brought to the nations by our hero-soldier!”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Guaranteed Original Vintage Poster — not a modern reprint or reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal Artwork: Alexei Kokorekin, 1945\u003cbr\u003eThis Edition: 1975 (30th Victory anniversary commemorative print)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Izobrazitelnoye Iskusstvo (Изобразительное Искусство), Moscow\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Socialist Realism\u003cbr\u003eSize: 113 × 58 cm (44.5 × 22.8 in)\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Offset lithograph on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall: Good (Vintage Grade)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear: Edge wear along the bottom, several pinholes, and minor age-related toning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetails: Central image and text remain clear and visually impactful.
