This 1965 original poster features the slogan in Cyrillic: “Вьетнамский народ победит!”, which translates into English as “The Vietnamese people will win.” The message reflects the strong international solidarity campaigns that surrounded the Vietnam War during the Cold War period.
The striking composition shows a stylized profile holding a red rifle marked with a star — a clear symbol of resistance, revolutionary struggle, and political determination. The dramatic contrast between the dark background and vivid red weapon reinforces the poster’s militant optimism and persuasive intent.
Graphically, the work combines expressive brushwork with simplified forms typical of mid-20th-century propaganda art. The direct slogan, bold color contrasts, and emblematic imagery illustrate how poster design functioned as a powerful political communication tool at the time.
Today, such posters are appreciated both as historical documents of geopolitical tensions in the 1960s and as compelling examples of political graphic design, where art, ideology, and visual communication intersect.
