Soviet posters first started appearing during the Proletarian Revolution in Russia - they delivered Communist Party's messages and slogans to the masses and called on workers and peasants to fight for freedom and justice.

The Posters played a very important role during the October Revolution and subsequent Civil War.

When the "great edifice of Socialism" was being erected through the first series of Five-Year Plans, propaganda posters could be found everywhere in the USSR - they were posted on construction sites, collective farm fields, grain elevator towers and massive concrete walls of the DneproGes dam.

Soviet posters have always kept pace with the times. They created images of role models for generations of Soviet workers and soldiers, exposed international warmongers and fought for world peace.
