Socrealism, short for Socialist Realism, was an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century Soviet Union. It aimed to depict the ideals of communism and promote propaganda through various art forms such as paintings, posters, and sculptures. One notable example is the advertising poster for Pelmeni from 1936. This vibrant artwork showcased a delicious plate of traditional Russian dumplings, enticing viewers to support local cuisine while subtly promoting collectivization. Another powerful piece titled "Sailor. Make repairs. " by an anonymous artist in 1921 portrayed a strong sailor working diligently on a ship's engine. The image symbolized the importance of hard work and dedication to building a prosperous socialist society. "We smite the lazy workers" (1931) depicted anonymous laborers engaged in physical labor with determination and unity. This painting aimed to inspire productivity among workers by highlighting their vital role in achieving societal goals. "The Cooperation Day in a village" (1926) by Tcheptsov captured villagers participating enthusiastically in collective activities like farming and construction. It celebrated cooperation as an essential aspect of socialism while emphasizing its benefits for rural communities. The iconic "Oath of Allegiance of the Workers and Peasants Red Army" (1918) by Moor illustrated soldiers pledging their loyalty to defend communist ideals during times of revolution and war. In "Communism is Soviet government plus electrification of the whole country" (1933), this slogan-turned-poster conveyed how industrial progress was crucial for achieving communism's ultimate goal - equality for all citizens. "We Will Turn the Five-Year Plan into a Four-Year Plan" (artist: Klutsis) encouraged accelerated economic growth during Stalin's era through ambitious targets set under five-year plans. "To the Elections. For Collectivisation. For the harvest. " (Kostyanitsyn, 1920s) urged peasants to participate actively in elections and support collectivization efforts to boost agricultural production.
