This 1954 poster by Ukrainian artist Valerii Lamakh, titled *Long Live the Leninist Stalinist Komsomol — a Faithful Assistant and Reliable Reserve of Our Party*, is a quintessential example of Soviet Socialist Realism. It features a young man and woman gazing upwards, symbolizing their dedication to the ideals of the Komsomol, a youth organization of the Soviet Union. The prominent red star and the inscription in the lower part of the poster emphasize the political message. This poster was a key tool in the Soviet propaganda machine, promoting the Komsomol as a vital force in building a socialist future.
