Created by S. Vlasov in 1928, this dynamic Soviet poster celebrates the Spartakiad, a large-scale sports event held in Moscow in August 1928. A powerful athlete dominates the composition, preparing to throw a javelin against a backdrop of industrial smokestacks and red banners. The red star and Lenin’s Mausoleum symbolize unity between physical strength, labor, and socialism. The crowd of smiling young athletes represents the energy and optimism of the Soviet youth. The poster embodies the ideal of the new Soviet citizen – healthy, strong, and devoted to collective progress.
