{"product_id":"ap_24753","title":"Pour la gloire de la Patrie ! 1977","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"270\" data-end=\"588\"\u003eCreated in 1977 by D. Pyatkin, this Soviet poster celebrates athletic achievement as a direct expression of national strength and ideological pride. The slogan \u003cem data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"466\"\u003e“For the Glory of the Motherland!”\u003c\/em\u003e encapsulates the central message: individual success is meaningful only when it contributes to the prestige of the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"590\" data-end=\"953\"\u003eThe composition features three female athletes dressed in uniforms marked “CCCP,” proudly displaying their medals. At the center stands a dominant figure crowned with a laurel wreath—a classical symbol of victory—gazing confidently into the distance. She represents not just a champion, but an ideal: disciplined, determined, and devoted to the collective future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"955\" data-end=\"1315\"\u003eBehind them rises a large red flag bearing the hammer and sickle, symbol of the \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eSoviet Union\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. The flag envelops the athletes, visually reinforcing the idea that their achievements belong to the nation. Red fragments scattered throughout the image create a sense of motion and celebration, amplifying the emotional intensity of victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1317\" data-end=\"1631\"\u003eThe emphasis on female athletes is especially significant. In Soviet visual culture, women in sport were presented as proof of gender equality and the vitality of the socialist system. These figures are not merely competitors—they are representatives of ideological progress, embodying strength, health, and unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1633\" data-end=\"1907\"\u003eThe color palette—dominated by bold reds, deep blues, and crisp whites—heightens contrast and symbolism. The realistic style, combined with heroic composition, reflects the principles of socialist realism, where individuals are idealized as embodiments of collective values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1909\" data-end=\"2198\"\u003eDuring the Cold War, international sports competitions were arenas of symbolic rivalry. Posters like this one served to promote the idea that Soviet success in athletics demonstrated the superiority of its system. Each medal won was not just a personal triumph, but a national achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2459\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWith \u003cem data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2241\"\u003e“For the Glory of the Motherland!”\u003c\/em\u003e, Pyatkin presents sport as a patriotic mission. The poster transforms athletes into national icons, asserting that true victory lies not in personal glory, but in contributing to the honor and strength of the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Poster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUSSR - Sport - Russia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, creases, small tears\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pyatkin D.","offers":[{"title":"114 x 54 \/ B+","offer_id":53685919777095,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_24753Insta2.jpg?v=1776958380","url":"https:\/\/galerie-1881.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/ap_24753","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
