Let Our Motherland Live and Prosper! 1949

This Soviet propaganda poster was created in 1949 by P. Golub. It features Joseph Stalin standing beside a young Pioneer boy, who holds a small bouquet of flowers. Both figures gaze proudly into the distance, toward a panoramic view of the Soviet countryside with fields, rivers, and villages stretching out to the horizon. Stalin, depicted in his white marshal’s uniform, symbolizes strong leadership and the flourishing state, while the child represents the future generation. The contrast between leader and youth emphasizes continuity, loyalty, and devotion to the Motherland. The slogan proclaims Stalin’s words: “Let our Motherland live and prosper!” – underscoring the themes of patriotism and national pride.
