Wear it with honor! 1956

This Soviet poster was created in 1956 by artist Galina Shubina. The bold slogan reads: “Носи с честью!”, which translates to “Wear it with honor!”. The artwork shows a boy proudly dressed in a cadet-style uniform while his mother rests a supportive hand on his shoulder. The boy’s confident expression and the mother’s gentle encouragement symbolize pride, duty, and the responsibility that comes with wearing a uniform. With its clear composition and warm tones, the poster conveys both family values and patriotic ideals, encouraging Soviet youth to embrace discipline and honor in service to society. Such imagery reflected the postwar emphasis on preparing children to see themselves as future defenders and contributors to the nation.
