Viktor Semenovich Ivanov (1909 to 1968) designed this portrait of Lenin. He won the USSR State Prize in 1946 and 1949 for a series of posters, and became a Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Arts in 1958. The slogan first appeared in the Komsomol magazine Molodaia gvardiia and was later adapted by Vladimir Mayakovsky in his works on Lenin.
On the poster
Lenin strides forward in a grey suit against a red Soviet flag with a hammer and sickle. The Russian lettering translates as "Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live!"
