В лрах мы ловергли фашистское знамя... [We Have Cast the Fascist Banner into the Dust.]

Offset lithograph

[Leningrad, Soviet Union]

Боевой Карандаш [Combat Pencil, Artists of the RSFSR]

circa 1985

Framed to approx. 17 5/8 x 22 3/4 in. 

An anti-Nazi Soviet propaganda poster. The work is dominated by a large red flag of the Soviet Union emblazoned with a gold hammer & sickle piercing a destroyed Nazi banner. A poem reads (in translation): "We Have Cast the Fascist Banner into the Dust. The enemy has been destroyed! Victory is ours!" Almost certainly printed as part of celebrations commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II.
