Soviet Era Poster 472 - Refrigerator Magnet: A Visual Celebration of Progress

This refrigerator magnet showcases a vibrant representation of Soviet propaganda art, specifically inspired by a poster commemorating the XXIV Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (KPSS) from 1971. The artwork immediately captures the viewer's eye with its bold imagery and symbolic weight.

A Vision of Collective Strength

The central figures of the design are two workers, a man wielding a hammer and a woman holding a sickle. This classic pairing, representing the industrial and agricultural sectors, is a powerful visual shorthand for the working class, a cornerstone of Soviet ideology. They are depicted striding forward confidently, embodying the spirit of progress and the unwavering march towards a brighter future.

Symbolism of the Party and State

In the background, at the heart of the composition, is a circular image featuring the iconic Moscow Kremlin and the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. This imagery serves as a direct link to the Communist Party and the state itself, reinforcing the idea that the party is the guiding force behind the nation's advancements. Stylized text encircling this central image further emphasizes the importance of the XXIV Congress.

A Message of Unity and Loyalty

The overall design, with its confident workers, the hammer and sickle, and the visual prominence of the Kremlin, is a clear call to unity, progress, and loyalty to the Communist Party. The poster’s visual style reflects the official Socialist Realism aesthetic, designed to inspire, educate, and rally the masses around the ideals of the Soviet state. It is a striking representation of a specific moment in Soviet history, encapsulated within a powerful piece of visual propaganda.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
