This Soviet election poster shows a bright winter scene where people walk to vote in a snow covered town and it was created by artist G. Shubina in 1947. In the foreground an elderly bearded man in a warm ushanka and a young woman in a blue coat and white headscarf look forward with calm confidence. Behind them you can see voting buildings with red flags, smoking chimneys, wooden fences and small groups of voters moving along snowy streets. The slogan reads “Vote for the prosperity of every city and every village of our beloved Motherland.” The picture connects different generations of citizens, the older man and the young woman, to show unity and shared responsibility. The peaceful winter landscape and clear blue sky add a feeling of hope and faith in a better future for the whole country.
