Original vintage Smirnoff vodka advertising poster: ''I've spread my wings since I discovered Smirnoff' - The effect is shattering. These original vintage Smirnoff advertising posters are part of the 1970s campaign by the London-based Young and Rubican agency, which aimed to promote the vodka as a way to achieve glamour and excitement as an escape from the humdrum of daily life. (To emphasise the campaign's risky innuendos, Avocado Sweet observes: Substitute the word heroin for Smirnoff and it still makes sense.) The advertising campaign proved to be a great success for the company, resulting in vodka becoming so chic that it overtook gin in popularity and saw Smirnoff's sales triple. In 1976 the campaign ended, following the tightening of rules on alcohol advertising led by the government and the Advertising Standards Authorities in 1975. Very good condition, minor cracks in margins. Country: UK, year of printing: 1970, designer: Unknown, size (cm): 56.5x41

Original vintage Soviet propaganda poster Work in a Revolutionary Way featuring an illustration of Lenin talking to three Soviet worker. Message reads - Communist subbotniks - precisely because of the enormous historical value that they have, show us a conscious voluntary initiative in labour productivity, a transition in the work of socialist conditions of economy and life, workers in the development add to the new labour discipline. Subbotnik and voskresnik were days of volunteer unpaid work on weekends following the October Revolution. Initially they were indeed voluntary, but gradually de facto obligatory upon announcement, as people quipped, "in a voluntary-compulsive way" (? ???????????-?????????????? ???????). The tradition is continued in modern Russia and some other former Soviet Republics. Subbotniks are mostly organized for cleaning the streets of garbage, fixing public amenities, collecting recyclable material, and other community services. The first mass subbotnik was held on April 12, 1919, at the Moscow-Sortirovochnaya railway depot of the Moscow-Kazan Railway upon the initiative of local bolsheviks. It was stated in the Resolution of the General Council of Communists of the Subraion of the Moscow-Kazan Railway and Their Adherents that "the communists and their supporters again must spur themselves on and extract from their time off still another hour of work, i.e. they must increase their working day by an hour, add it up and on Saturday devote six hours at a stretch to physical labour, thereby producing immediately a real value. Considering that communists should not spare their health and lives for the victory of the revolution, the work is conducted without pay." This subbotnik prompted Lenin to write the article The Grand Initiative, where he called subbotniks "the actual beginnings of the communism". The first all-Russian subbotnik was held on May 1, 1920, and Vladimir Lenin participated in removing building rubble in the Moscow Kremlin, an episode portrayed in a famous painting by Vladimir Krikhatsky, Lenin at the First Subbotnik, of Lenin carrying a log. Excellent condition, minor crease on margins. Country: Russia, year of printing: 1988, designer: Y. Tsarev, size (cm): 63x94
