Small poster with Stalin's portrait, circa 1945.
Measures 9 ¼" x 11 ½". Decorated in the style of WW2 era military citations and honorary certificates. The portrait is a print off Stalin's retouched photo projecting his "Great Helmsman" image.
The sycophantic proclamation under the portrait reads "With the name of Stalin, the great successor of Lenin's cause, are linked all the successes, all the victories, all global historical achievements of socialism in our country."
Whether by chance or by design, the imagery is reminiscent of a Russian Orthodox icon, with Saint Stalin complete with the "communist nimbus" of the sickle and hammer circled by a laurel wreath over his head.
In excellent condition. No wear or damage to report except for barely-there corner bumps, hardly noticeable.
Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
