Revolutionary Step Soviet Anniversary Poster

This is an original late Soviet political poster marking the historical span 1917–1990, referencing the Soviet revolutionary period from the October Revolution through the final years of the USSR. The composition is highly stylized, showing a single marching figure rendered through bold graphic elements: a blue athletic shoe stepping forward, simplified trouser leg, and a red line suggesting motion and momentum. The palette is restrained but striking, using red, blue, and off-white to emphasize movement and progress rather than narrative realism.

The handwritten-style Cyrillic text at the bottom reads «Революционный держим шаг» (“We keep a revolutionary step”). An artist credit reads Художник М. Цветов (Artist M. Tsvetov). This qualifies as Soviet propaganda, though it is subtle and abstract rather than overtly ideological. Instead of leaders or symbols, it promotes continuity, discipline, and forward motion, aligning revolutionary identity with collective progress during the final decades of the Soviet state.

Good vintage condition. Poster shows original fold lines, light surface creasing, and minor edge wear. Colors remain strong and well-preserved. No major tears or losses.
