EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Long live Stalin's generation of Stakhanov Heroes!" captures the essence of Soviet propaganda during the era of Joseph Stalin. Created in 1936 by artist Gustav Klutsis, this powerful image showcases the ideals and aspirations of socialist realism. In this vibrant colour lithograph, we see a group of strong and determined workers proudly holding their tools, symbolizing their commitment to shock work movement. The poster celebrates the Stakhanovite movement, which aimed to increase productivity through individual achievements. These workers were hailed as heroes of socialist labor and became symbols of inspiration for others. The composition is dynamic, with bold lines and contrasting colours that draw attention to the figures. The use of symbolism is evident in the presence of Joseph Stalin's portrait overlooking the scene, emphasizing his role as a leader guiding and inspiring these heroic workers. This artwork reflects not only political agitation but also serves as a testament to Stalinism and its dictatorial regime. It highlights how propaganda played an essential role in shaping public opinion during that time. Preserved in the collection at Russian State Library in Moscow, this piece represents an important part of history - a visual representation commemorating those who dedicated themselves to furthering socialism under Stalin's rule.
