A Soviet era propaganda poster with bold graphics and strong symbolism. The poster features a stylized profile of Vladimir Lenin in an orange square on the left, facing right.

In the upper right corner, a red rocket with the word Vostok, meaning East on it is depicted streaking upwards along a white diagonal line. In the lower left, a silhouette of a ship with the year 1917 marked on it is shown with beams of light emanating from it, pointing towards the 45. At the very bottom, in large orange Cyrillic letters, is the slogan Slava Oktyabryu!, which translates to Glory to October!. This slogan refers to the October Revolution of 1917, a key event in Soviet history. The poster combines imagery of Lenin, the revolution, and Soviet technological achievements to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the October Revolution. The color palette of orange, blue, white, and red is stark and impactful, typical of Soviet propaganda art. Artist: M. Gordon. Boevoi Karandash publishing house. Marked on the back side.
