Krasnoyarsk, Soviet Union · 1924
Rare original Soviet broadside issued in Krasnoyarsk following the death of Vladimir Lenin on January 21, 1924.
Published by the Agitation and Propaganda Department of the Yenisei Provincial Committee of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) and printed by the Grigory Weinbaum State Printing House in Krasnoyarsk, the broadside was produced during the immediate period of national mourning and political mobilization that followed Lenin's death.
The printer's imprint records an exceptionally small print run of just 150 copies, along with Gublit authorization No. 1826 and printing order No. 886.
Printed in Cyrillic with bold red and black typography, the piece is a striking example of early Soviet political ephemera and graphic design. Beyond its visual impact, it survives as a tangible document from a pivotal moment in Soviet history, when Lenin's death was rapidly transformed into a powerful instrument of public commemoration and political identity.
A faint handwritten notation near the upper left includes “1924. I.21” — January 21, 1924, the date of Lenin's death.The notation has been preserved as part of the object's history.
