Soviet Era Poster 464 - Visual Design

This striking lithograph, known as Soviet Era Poster 464, immediately commands attention with its vibrant imagery and bold message. The artwork showcases a dynamic parade of Komsomol youth, the youth wing of the Communist Party, marching with flags held high.

Key Visual Elements

The foreground is dominated by these youthful figures, their energy and collective spirit amplified by the use of vivid red flags. These flags, bearing inscriptions of greetings to Stalin, represent the era's pervasive cult of personality and the unwavering loyalty demanded of the population.

In the background, the stately presence of a building, identified as the Russian State Museum in Moscow, grounds the scene and provides a sense of place and historical context. The placement of the building suggests both civic pride and the enduring nature of the Soviet state.

Meaning and Symbolism

The design of Poster 464 is a powerful visual representation of the Soviet Union's promotion of "physical culture." The parade symbolizes the strength and invincibility of the Soviet people. This mobilization of youth, through sports, parades, and other collective activities, was presented not only as a means of health and fitness but also as an integral part of the political and ideological landscape.

The poster's use of color, especially the prominent use of red, reinforces the message of strength, unity, and revolutionary fervor. The overall design serves as a potent piece of propaganda, skillfully crafted to shape public perception and celebrate the ideals of the Soviet regime.

Premium matte paper posters printed on museum-grade archival stock (175 g/m²). Designed for indoor display, these prints deliver precise color, fine detail and long-term stability — allow a small production tolerance of ±1/16".

These posters are printed on archival museum-grade paper that feels substantial in the hand and holds ink very well. At 175 g/m² the sheet is heavy enough to lie flat in a frame but still easy to handle when framing or mounting.

We print with pigmented, archival inks that emphasize tonal range and protect against quick fading. The matte surface soaks up light rather than reflecting it, which helps textures and subtle color shifts read naturally under indoor lighting.

  • Paper: museum-grade archival matte, 175 g/m² — sturdy, low-reflection surface for artwork fidelity.
  • Inks: pigmented archival inks for accurate, long-lasting color reproduction.
  • Finish: matte — reduces glare and keeps detail visible under common indoor lights.
  • Use: intended for indoor display only; avoid prolonged direct sunlight and damp areas.
  • Tolerance: small production variance (typically ±1/16") is normal; framers account for this routinely.

These posters work well in living rooms, bedrooms, studies and office spaces — anywhere you want printed art that reads clearly without distracting reflections. The matte surface is especially useful beneath spotlights or ceiling fixtures.

  1. Pick a spot: choose a wall away from long periods of direct sun and high humidity to keep pigments stable.
  2. Frame or mount: the paper’s weight pairs nicely with common frames and matting; if using a mat, leave a small gap to account for the ±1/16" tolerance.
  3. Arrangement tip: for groupings, place larger pieces at eye level and allow 4–6" between frames to avoid visual clutter.

Practical note: if you plan to float the print in a frame, check the frame rabbet size against the print dimensions and allow for the small manufacturing variance.

Keep prints looking fresh with light, occasional care. Dust with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If a mark needs attention, dab very lightly with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately — do not rub hard.

Avoid ammonia-based cleaners and abrasive pads; they can harm paper and inks. For long-term preservation, consider framing behind glass or acrylic and keeping the piece out of humid rooms.

Posters are offered in multiple standard sizes. Listed dimensions refer to the print area (width × height). Because of the production and cutting process, expect a small variance — typically within ±1/16".

If matching multiple prints or ordering custom framing, measure the final framed dimensions and allow a small margin for this manufacturing tolerance to ensure a good fit.
