About the Item

The 1977 original poster by the Soviet artistic collective Koukryniksy reflects their renowned style of sharp political caricature and satire. Active from the 1920s to the 1970s, Koukryniksy, consisting of Mikhail Kupriyanov, Porfiry Krylov, and Nikolai Sokolov, produced some of the most influential propaganda of the 20th century. This piece addresses themes of anti-racism and anti-fascism, created during a period when Cold War tensions were high, and Soviet propaganda aimed to critique Western colonialism and racism. It was part of the USSR's broader messaging to inspire solidarity with global equality movements and expose perceived moral failings of rival nations. The poster employs bold symbolism and caricature to deliver a strong political message in line with the collective’s tradition of impactful satire. Today, works by Koukryniksy are valued as historical artifacts, offering insight into Soviet perspectives during the Cold War. This 1977 poster remains a sought-after piece for collectors interested in propaganda art, Soviet history, and the use of visual media as a tool for political communication.
