EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a Soviet poster from 1957, exuding the essence of the era. The poster, with its Estonian text, was created by Sima Shkop and serves as a powerful representation of the agricultural focus during that time. The central message of the poster is clear: "Fill the sacks with grain!". It reflects the importance placed on agriculture in Soviet society, emphasizing the need to increase grain production for both domestic consumption and exportation. The image showcases a group of workers diligently filling sacks with grains, symbolizing their commitment to fulfilling this goal. Sima Shkop's artistic style shines through in this piece, showcasing her talent for creating visually striking illustrations that effectively convey political messages. As an agitprop artist, she skillfully uses bold lines and simple yet impactful imagery to capture attention and inspire action. This photograph not only provides insight into Soviet propaganda but also offers a glimpse into Estonia's role within it. By featuring Estonian text on the poster, it highlights how each region within the USSR played its part in achieving collective goals. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York City, this print serves as a reminder of an important chapter in history when agriculture held great significance in shaping societies across Eastern Europe.
