Women’s International Congress. Moscow 1963

Women’s International Congress

This poster was created by artist Ruben Suryaninov in 1963 for the Women’s International Congress held in Moscow, organized by the Women’s International Democratic Federation. It depicts stylized profiles of women of different ethnic backgrounds merging together, symbolizing unity and solidarity. Around the figures, the word “peace” is written in multiple languages, highlighting the congress’s focus on international cooperation and peace. The strong use of blue and contrasting tones emphasizes harmony and shared purpose. The poster reflects the Soviet Union’s efforts to promote global solidarity among women and their role in the peace movement during the Cold War era.
