Young Leninists – children of Ilyich. 1924

This Soviet propaganda poster was created in 1924 by artist V. Izenberg to mark the anniversary of the October Revolution. It shows a young Pioneer in full uniform, with the symbolic red scarf and a wide-brimmed hat, carrying a drum that represents discipline, vigilance, and revolutionary readiness. The Pioneer strides confidently forward, embodying the spirit of youthful energy and devotion to Lenin’s legacy. The text at the top reads: “Young Leninists – Children of Ilyich”, while the lower inscription says: “To the Anniversary of the October Revolution.” Through its bold colors, striking design, and heroic imagery, the poster emphasizes the role of Soviet youth as heirs of Lenin’s cause and future builders of socialism.
