Artist V. Elkin

This Soviet propaganda poster from 1950 emphasizes the importance of oil transportation for the prosperity of the USSR. The image shows two confident naval officers reviewing plans or orders in front of a bustling port with oil tankers and maritime workers. The bold red slogan urges greater effort in delivering oil to support the needs of the “beloved Motherland,” highlighting oil as a critical resource for national development. The poster captures the post-war Soviet industrial push, focusing on energy, transport, and loyalty to the state. The clean, heroic imagery and organized setting reflect the idealized vision of Soviet progress and unity through labor.
