Very nice propaganda poster from World War II: Your Motherland needs you! by Irakli Toidze.
With the launch of Operation Barbarossa by the Germans in June 1941, the Soviet Union entered World War II. Supposedly, the story behind this poster is that the wife of the artist, Irakli Toidze, ran into his studio screaming "War!" upon hearing the news on the radio. Irakli asked her to freeze her movement, and her posture is what is seen in the poster, though her great looks were allegedly toned down a lot for the poster. It was indeed published in the very early stages of the German attack and became iconic in Soviet imagery.
Stamps are also nice:
Bridge over Ob, Surgut, released on 2008-11-28
Headdresses of Tatarstan. Maiden kalfak, XIX c., released on 2010-07-30
Headdresses of Tatarstan. Kattashi, XIX-XX c., released on 2010-07-30
Thank You very much Yulia!
