Measures 17" x 23", a scarce "local" publication by the Sverdlovsk chapter of the Artists' Fund with a very small circulation of just 10,000 copies. The large print under the graphics says "Long Live the Stalin Constitution!" The smaller print on the banner is a lengthy quote from Stalin, attributing the victory in the Patriotic War to the virtues embedded in the Constitution of 1936, commonly known as the "Stalin Constitution." The sinister coal-black figure of Stalin is a great match for the meaning of the quotation. It says, "Having walked the path of struggles and deprivations, it is nice and joyful to have our own Constitution reflecting the fruits of our victories. It is nice and joyful to know what it was that our people fought for and how they achieved their historical global victory. It is nice and joyful to realize that the blood spilled by our people was not spilled in vain, that it yielded its results."

In very good to excellent condition. A few short tears to the margins can be easily repaired with library tape on the verso. The fold lines have long since flattened out and are almost invisible. The colors are fresh and vibrant. The verso shows reddish lines, most likely incurred during the printing of the poster, but is clean otherwise. The handwritten inscriptions there read "Stalin's quote about the constitution. Outdated."

Please note that the 1-ft. ruler in our photo is for size reference.
