Title:. The Five-Year Plan in Four Years Means More Steel and Coal for Our Country.

This poster belongs to a vintage set of 32 Soviet poster reproductions called “Soviet Political Posters” published in 1983 in the Soviet Union (Leningrad).

The evolution of propaganda posters reflected what Soviet women were supposed to be like and their changing image and role in society.

The USSR was arguably the first country to put the ideas of feminism into practice. Women had equal rights with men, including the right to vote (even before Great Britain and Germany). Also, women were addressed using the gender-neutral term tovarish (“comrade”), just like all other Soviet citizens.
