23 5/8" by 37 1/2" poster is filled with statistics as well as the familiar, obligatory references to events of the Revolution. Under the state emblem in the center, a quote from Article 1 of the Constitution of the USSR reads: "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is a socialist state of the workers and peasants" The long quote in red at the bottom reads: "The collective farming destroyed the extreme poverty in the village - tens of millions of the poor lifted themselves to the level of well off people."

It is interesting to note that the picture at upper left reproduces a painting that purports to show Stalin and Lenin directing the assault on the Winter Palace - even though Stalin was not there and Lenin was probably somewhere else, too...

Very Good condition. The poster was originally folded but has spent many years rolled in a tube. Someone mounted it on a wall using tape on the upper right and left hand corners. When the tape was removed, it took away a small portion of the tops of the two corner pictures - fortunately, the central parts of both pictures were not affected and a restorer could easily fill in the missing portions.

Not a word of truth: classic Soviet wartime propaganda!
