I vote for the candidates 1946

Artists: V. Ivanov and O. Burova, 1946. The poster shows a woman casting her ballot while holding a smiling child who waves a small red flag with the hammer and sickle, creating an image of trust, warmth, and continuity between generations. Their calm expressions and neat clothing emphasize dignity, civic responsibility, and confidence in the future. The bright red of the ballot box and flag draws attention to the act of voting as a meaningful and optimistic civic duty. The composition presents family, motherhood, and patriotism as united values that support participation in public life. The Russian text reads: “Я голосую за кандидатов блока коммунистов и беспартийных!” translated as “I vote for the candidates of the bloc of communists and non party members,” expressing loyalty to the political system and faith in its representatives.
