Behind him, swept-wing jets streak across a cobalt sky trailing contrails, a rocket arcs with an orange flame trail, and a tank with two figures occupies the smoke-hazed lower distance. The slogan below, in bold Cyrillic, reads: УЧИСЬ НАСТУПАТЬ СТРЕМИТЕЛЬНО И СМЕЛО, Learn to Attack Swiftly and Boldly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Vrublevskaya for Voenizdat, the principal Soviet military publishing house, in 1963. The date is significant: 1963 sits at the tail-end of the Khrushchev Thaw, the year of the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and eighteen months after the Cuban Missile Crisis. The composition places the individual soldier in the foreground while jets and armour fill the middle distance, a visual argument that Soviet military strength operates across all dimensions at once. It is a recruiting and morale poster in the tradition of Socialist Realism, updated for the jet age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis archival print is reproduced on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper, preserving the cobalt blue of the sky and the flat olive tones of the figure. The two-colour typographic band at the foot reproduces crisply at all print sizes. Suited to a study, a research collection, or alongside other Cold War material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Poster Archives","offers":[{"title":"A4","offer_id":63809387463033,"sku":"VPA-13274-A4","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":63809387495801,"sku":"VPA-13274-A3","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2","offer_id":63809387528569,"sku":"VPA-13274-A2","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"50x70cm","offer_id":63809387561337,"sku":"VPA-13274-50x70cm","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1","offer_id":63809387594105,"sku":"VPA-13274-A1","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"70x100cm","offer_id":63809387626873,"sku":"VPA-13274-70x100cm","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0","offer_id":63809387659641,"sku":"VPA-13274-A0","price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/1139\/4937\/files\/Propaganda-Soviet-RedArmy-AdvanceSwiftlyAndBoldly-1963.jpg?v=1782033099","url":"https:\/\/vintageposterarchives.com\/products\/soviet-propaganda-poster-1963-red-army-advance","provider":"Vintage Poster Archives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
