Abstract safety poster, USSR.

Abstract safety poster, USSR.

This poster belongs to a set of posters called "LABOUR SAFETY WHEN WORKING ON GRINDING MACHINES"

Title: CHECK THE CIRCLE BY PRELIMINARY ROTATION

Personally, the image in the poster reminds me some geometrical shapes in Kandinsky’s style (see last 2 pictures to compare with the poster).

The U.S.S.R. was notorious for its omnipresent propaganda. The Bolshevik regime proved wonderfully adept at using the skills of talented graphic designers and writers to create vivid images and slogans aimed at ideologically motivating the masses to transform society. Their work permeated all aspects of life during the communist era, including art, industry, and science. The state even invested a lot of artistic endeavor into such mundane areas as health and safety at the workplace and this original poster is an excellent example of this policy.
