Description: Very rare! From the Era of Perestroika... It began in 1985 with the election of Mikhail Gorbachev as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. His assignment was to jump start the Soviet economy after 20 years of stagnation, and keep up with the United States and a newly ascendant and reform-minded China. Posters, as throughout Soviet history, were an essential part of this campaign to persuade the public. Utilizing diverse visual strategies, the posters reflect every aspect of Gorbachevs reform program, from economic and political restructuring (perestroika), to the new openness and democratization (glasnost), disarmament and world peace, and environmental and anti-alcohol campaigns. The era would end abruptly. Despite Gorbachev's vision and often inspired efforts over 6 years, he was unable to challenge the embedded resistance of a corrupt and reactionary Communist Party. His high risk efforts ultimately helped seed the sudden dissolution and collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Great shape! Never hung up. Shows very little storage wear. Please look at photos! Packaged & handled with excellence and care! Shipped in a quality poster tube! 3-day handling. Due to my on-call schedule I list all of my auctions with this to be fair on all levels.
