USSR Stalin Soviet Union Constitution
Original vintage Soviet propaganda poster featuring an image of people from different countries in their national costume and floral headdresses smiling and looking at a large red book with a hammer and sickle on the spine - Конституция Союза ССР / Constitution of the USSR - and a quote by Joseph Stalin on the side - As a result of the path of struggle and hardships we have gone through, it is pleasant and joyful to have our own Constitution that deals with the fruits of our victories / В результате пройденного пути борьбы и лишений приятно и радостно иметь свою Конституцию трактующую о плодах наших побед - an outline of the Moscow Kremlin tower with a red star in the background on the other side with the people waving red cloths and carrying wheat, cotton and fruit, the man in the centre holding up his arms in welcome to the viewer. The 1936 Constitution of the Soviet Union (also known as the Stalin Constitution) replaced the 1924 version to update and redesign the government, centralisation of power, and the rights and freedoms of the people; it was the longest-surviving constitution of the USSR, replaced in 1977 by the Brezhnev Constitution; some Eastern Bloc countries later adopted constitutions similar to this Stalin Constitution. Horizontal. Good condition, folds, staining, tears, creasing, backed on linen.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
