I came across this poster today and thought it was interesting for a couple of reasons. It was done by the well-known Soviet artist A. A. Kokorekin in 1943. He created a number of propaganda posters in the 1940s, during and after the Great Patriotic War (World War II), most of which I’ve seen. But I’d never seen this one. Also, I live in the region of Ukraine known as the Donbass – the industrial, eastern most part of the country.
The poster reads: “Donbass is released! Miner, revive powerful Donbass!”
