In Soviet times, the posters were one of the most common means of mass agitation. With the help of posters, talented artists expressed the will of the people, called for certain actions, pointed to good and bad parties of life, brought up a sense of self-esteem in people, a sense of patriotism and love for their own country, their people. The posters of the USSR times concerned the most different parties to life and affected almost everything that happened in society. For all the time a giant number of posters were created, which condemn drunkenness, talk about the benefits of labor and sports, show life in good light in Russia and indicate the disadvantages of the West. However, the most bright, most important, deep, touching and even tragic are the posters of the times of the Great Patriotic War.

Soviet posters of times Great Patriotic War 1941-1945 Call all people of an immense country to oppose fascism. In the brightest and visual images, they show the whole horror of war and all the inhumanity of fascism, which decided to conquer the world. Posters during the war were one of the massive campaigning means, acting on a par with newspapers and radio. Many of these posters have become so famous that they are used even today and are considered real masterpieces of the art of a poster case. These posters can be touched on the heart, awaken special feelings even now, when many decades have passed after that terrible war, which claimed the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians.

Talented artists were engaged in the creation of campaign posters, the names of which remained in the history of the visual art of the Soviet period. The most famous artists of this genre were Dmitry Moor, Viktor Denya, Mikhail Cheremnyy, Tidza Irakli Moiseevich, Kokorekin Alexey Alekseevich, Ivanov Victor Semenovich, Koretsky Viktor Borisovich, group of artists "", group of artists "TASS windows" and others. In his art, they created the majestic, memorable and inspirational images, the tense plot, which appealed to sincere feelings, and also accompanied their works with bright phrases that were remembered and crashed into memory. Without a doubt, the art of a campaign poster contributed to the formation of a sense of patriotism of the people of that time, because no wonder propaganda and agitation was then called the Third Front of the Great Patriotic War.

The Great Patriotic War lasted 1418 days. In each of these days, thousands of events took place in thousands of seats. Covered and describe all these events are almost impossible - they all had different meanings. I decided to assemble the military campaign posters of those times

Wait for me and I will come back.
Just wait very much
Wait for sadness
Yellow rains.
Wait, when the snow is sweeping,
Wait for the heat,
Wait, when others do not expect,
By changing yesterday.
Wait, when from long-distance places
Letters will not come.
Wait when you get bored
Everyone who is waiting together.
Wait for me and I will come back,
Do not regret the good
Everyone who knows by heart
What to forget it is time.
Let them believe the Son and Mother
That is not me,
Let friends be waiting to wait
Sit by fire
Get down bitter wine
On the soul member ...
Wait. And with them at the same time
Do not rush to drink.
Wait for me and I will come back
All deaths called.
Who did not wait for me, let him
Said: lucky.
Not to understand not waiting for them,
As among the fire,
His expectation
You saved me.
As I survived, we will know
Only we are with you
Simply, you knew how to wait
Like no one else.
Konstantin Simonov, West Front, June 1941

Where the grass from dew and the blood is raw,
where the pupils of machine guns fiercely look
in full growth over the front edge
the winner of the soldier rose.
The heart beat about the edges intermittently, often.
Silence - silence, not in a dream, in reality.
And said the infantryman: - Own! Basta!
And noticed a violet into the rocks.
And in the shower, gone for light and affection,
there was a joy of the former singeling stream.
And the soldiers bent, and to the ridiculous helmet
Carefully adjusted the flower.
Again came to life were alive
Moscow region under the snow, in the fire of Stalingrad.
For four unthinkable years, for the first time,
As a child, I cried the soldier.
So stood the infantryman, laughing and sobbing,
bunny trample a spiny woven.
Behind the shoulders of the burned dawn young,
foreshadowing a sunny day.

The soldiers were struggled on the fronts, partisans and scouts - in the occupied territory, and the tank workers collected tanks. Propagandists and artists turned pencils and brushes into weapons. The main task of the poster was the strengthening of the faith of Soviet people in victory. The first poster thesis (now they would be called a slogan) became a phrase from Molotov's speech on June 22, 1941: "Our business will be broken, the victory will be behind us." One of the main characters of the military poster was the image of a woman - mother, homeland, girlfriend, wives. She worked in the rear at the factory, collected a harvest, waited and believed.

"Ruthlessly defeat and destroy the enemy", Kukryniks, 1941

The first military poster, disclosed on the walls of the houses on June 23, was the list of artists of Kukryniksov, depicting Hitler, treacherously ruining the non-aggression pact between the USSR and Germany.

"Motherland name call!", Tidze Irakli, 1941

The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a mother's image calling for helping his sons, arose by chance. Hearing the first message of Sovinformbüro about the attack of fascist Germany in the USSR, the spouse Tidza ran into his workshop with a cry of "War!". An expression of her face, the artist ordered his wife to stop and immediately began to make sketches of the future masterpiece. The impact on the people of this work and the song "Sacred War" was much stronger than the conversations of the political officers.

"Be a hero!", Viktor Koretsky, 1941

The slogan of the poster became prophetic: millions of people stood up for the defense of the Fatherland and defended their freedom and independence. In June 1941, Koretsky created the composition "Be Hero!". A poster, enlarged several times, was installed along Moscow streets, for which columns of mobilized residents of the city were held in the first weeks of war.

One of the most emotionally strong posters was issued a 14 millionth edition. Frontoviki saw their mother, wife, sister, and in a frightened defenseless girl, her mother, her future in a frightened defenseless girl, her future in a frightened defenseless girl.

"Do not talk!", Nina Watolina, 1941

In June, the 41st artist Watolina was offered to graphically arrange the famous lines of Marshak: "Be to the alert! On these days eaven the walls. Not far from the chatter and gossip to the treason, "and after a couple of days, the image was found. A model for work served a neighbor, with which the artist often stood in the same queue in bun. A strict face of an unknown woman has become one of the main symbols of the fortress country in the front of the fronts.

"All hope for you, a red warrior!", Ivanov, Burova, 1942

The topic of revenge in the invaders becomes leading in the work of plastic artists at the first stage of war. Instead of collective heroic images, the first place are published by persons resembling specific people - your girl, your child, your mother. Avenge, free, save. The Red Army retretched, and women and children left in the occupied enemy of the territory were silent from the posters.

"Musty for the mountain of the people!", Viktor Ivanov, 1942

The poster accompany the poems of faith inbert "Bay Enemy!", After reading which, perhaps, no longer needed any words ...

The enemy was approaching the Volga, the huge territory was occupied, at which hundreds of thousands of civilians lived. The characters of artists became women and children. Posters showed trouble and suffering, calling for a warrior to overthrow and help those who are unable to help themselves. Antonov turned to the fighters on behalf of their wives and sisters with a poster "... You won't give your favorite to shame and dishonor to Hitler's soldiers."

"My son! You see a lot of my ... ", Antonov, 1942

This work has become a symbol of people's suffering. Maybe mom, there can be a depleted sacrificent homeland - an elderly woman with a knot in his hands, which leaves a burnt village. She as if she stopped for a second, sorely rushing, she asks for the help of his son.

"Warrior, answer the birthplace of the victory!", Dementy Shmarinov, 1942

The artist very simply revealed the main theme: Rodina Grow bread and gives the most perfect weapon in the hands of the soldier. Woman gathered automaton and gathered ripe ears. Red red banner color dress confidently leads to victory. Fighters must win, and the workers of the rear give more and more weapons.

"Tractor in the field that tank in battle", Olga Burova, 1942

The bright optimistic colors of the poster assure - the bread will be, the victory is not far off. Your women believe in you. The air battle goes away, Echelon passes with fighters, but the faithful girlfriends make their work, contributing to the case of victory.

"Red Cross Buligs! Do not leave on the battlefield or wounded, nor his weapons, "Viktor Koretsky, 1942

Here is an equal fighter, a nurse and a savory.

"We drink the water of the native Dnieper ...", Viktor Ivanov, 1943

After the victory in the Stalingrad battle, it was obvious that the advantage on the side of the Red Army. The artists now needed the creation of posters, which would show the meeting of the liberators of Soviet cities and villages. Successful forcing Dnieper could not stay away from artists.

"Glory to the liberators of Ukraine!", Dementy Shmarinov, 1943

Forcing the Dnieper and Liberation of Kiev is one of the glorious pages of the history of the Great Patriotic War. Mass heroism was adequately appreciated, and 2438 people were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. For the forcing of the Dnieper and other rivers, for the senses performed in the subsequent years, the title of Hero of the Soviet Union received another 56 people.

"Get up in the ranks of the front-line girlfriends ...", Victor Koretsky, VeraGutsevic, 1943.

So they met the soldier of the Red Army - as a native, as a liberator. Woman without holding back gusting gratitude, hugs a stranger soldier.

"Europe will be free!", Viktor Koretsky, 1944

By the summer of 1944 it became clear that the USSR could not only expel the enemy from their land, but also to release the peoples of Europe and complete the defeat of the Hitler's army. After the opening of the second front, the topic of the joint struggle of the Soviet Union, Great Britain and the United States for the liberation of the entire Europe from the "brown plague" became relevant.

"We have one sight - Berlin!", Viktor Koretsky, 1945

It remains very little. The goal is close. No wonder, a woman appears next to the soldier on the poster - as a promise that they will soon be able to see.

"Received Berlin", Leonid Golovanov, 1945

Here is the long-awaited victory ... Spring posters of 1945 breathe in spring, peace, great victory! Behind the hero, Leonid Golovanov's poster is visible "I will reach Berlin!", Published in 1944, with the same main character, but so far without an order.

"Wait", Maria Nesterova-Berzina, 1945

Frontoviki returned home with the consciousness of their dignity of people who have fulfilled their duty. Now the former soldier will have to restore the farm and establish a peaceful life.

Father Hero-Son met

and her husband hugged his wife,

and watch with admirable children

on combat order.

And we also live in wartime! And today our country is occupied by the enemy, it is plunder. Russian culture is destroyed, the People's Spirit is replaced by ribia, conscience is driven underground.

Yes, today is the military time. War, truth, the other. Then it was clear: who is the enemy and where he is. Today the enemy does not climb into our land with machine guns, tanks and guns. It uses other methods and puts longer goals than a simple military occupation.

Nowadays, the enemy uses weapons less catchy, almost imperceptible, but not less effective. A Russian man, as it is already in the West in the West, - trying to determine, change his essence, deprive the spiritual support, expel the conscience from his soul and leave only the human shell, ideally fought by gadgets. For ease of management and slow but steady kill. Impact through the soul and genes for future generations, which, according to the environment of the enemy, should not be born at all.

But we remember and honor the exploits of our ancestors. Who give us strength and confidence that we will drive the enemy from the land of Russian and celebrate the victory over the sacuost, in whatever do it is neglected!

Our right thing, we will win!
