{"product_id":"soviet-poster-2","title":"Anti-Vodka, Soviet Propaganda","description":"\u003cp\u003eA powerful example of Soviet anti-alcohol propaganda from the early 1980s, this poster delivers its message through striking visual metaphor. The Russian exclamation 'ДОКАТИЛСЯ!' (roughly 'Look what he's come to!') frames a green vodka bottle that contains the consequences of alcoholism: a crashed milk truck spilling its cargo above, and below, a man's anguished face and gripping hands emerging from darkness behind what appear to be prison bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePublished by the state's Plakat publishing house in Moscow, this piece predates Gorbachev's famous 1985 anti-alcohol campaign while reflecting the ongoing Soviet struggle with endemic alcoholism. The limited color palette of green, black, and cream creates maximum graphic impact, while the composition transforms a simple bottle shape into both prison and prophecy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA compelling document of late Soviet social policy rendered as graphic art, this poster speaks to the human cost of addiction through imagery that transcends its original propaganda purpose. A standout piece for collectors of Soviet graphics or social history ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19.0\" x 13.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e B.
