{"product_id":"ap_22482","title":"Shame on racist 1972","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1972 Soviet poster by V. Karakashev, titled \u003cem\u003e\"Shame on Racists\" (Позор Расистам)\u003c\/em\u003e, is a striking example of Cold War-era propaganda with a bold anti-racist message. Created in the Soviet Union, the poster reflects the USSR's emphasis on presenting itself as an advocate for international solidarity and a critic of racial injustice, particularly in the context of the civil rights struggles and racial violence in the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is both powerful and confrontational. It features a vivid red shirt, symbolizing the blood of victims and the passionate fight against racism, contrasted against a stark grayscale background. The image depicts a disturbing scene of brutality, with an African man suspended upside-down, surrounded by ominous, faceless figures representing enforcers of systemic violence. This haunting visual critique is designed to evoke outrage and a call for justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bold text at the bottom, \u003cem\u003e\"Позор Расистам!\"\u003c\/em\u003e (\u003cem\u003e\"Shame on Racists!\"\u003c\/em\u003e), delivers an unambiguous and forceful condemnation of racial oppression. The emblem of the Soviet Peace Committee is prominently featured, underscoring the USSR’s alignment with global anti-colonial and anti-racist movements, a key component of Soviet ideological competition with the United States during the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosters like this one were part of a broader Soviet campaign to highlight social inequalities and racial injustices in Western countries, particularly the United States, while promoting the Soviet Union as a champion of equality and international unity. Despite its propagandistic intent, the poster resonates as a timeless reminder of the universal struggle against racism and systemic violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, this artwork stands as a historical artifact, reflecting the geopolitical tensions and ideological battles of its time, as well as the enduring fight for racial justice worldwide. V. Karakashev’s evocative design continues to serve as a sobering reminder of the power of art to confront injustice and provoke change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal Poster\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePolitics - USSR - Cold War - Russia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition, slight traces of folds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karakashev V.","offers":[{"title":"90 x 58 \/ A  \/ On Linen","offer_id":50730649747783,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/9275\/3081\/files\/AP_22482Insta2.jpg?v=1734102348","url":"https:\/\/galerie1881.fr\/en\/products\/ap_22482","provider":"Galerie 1881","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
