The 9th Five-Year Plan, for 1971 to 1975, was presented by Premier Alexei Kosygin to the 24th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. K. Ivanov designed this poster to promote it, in 1971.
On the poster
A male worker in a flat cap and dark overalls stands with both arms raised above a blue wireframe globe. His right fist grips a sweeping red banner lettered "9 ПЯТИЛЕТКА", and his left hand opens toward the viewer. Below him a silhouetted industrial skyline holds factory chimneys, storage tanks, a radar dish, a hammer-and-sickle flag and a red star. The palette is four colours: cadmium red, cobalt blue, dark brown-black and white, on a pale cream ground.
Across the top, in dark blue condensed Cyrillic: "ВО ИМЯ МИРА И ПРОГРЕССА НА ЗЕМЛЕ!" (In the Name of Peace and Progress on Earth!).
