Original vintage Soviet propaganda poster - If they like to work, then they are October's children! Great illustration showing three children helping with the household chores, the first boy wearing a Soviet red star Little Octobrist badge featuring an image of a young Lenin and peeling a potato, the second boy looking out to the viewer and smiling as he dries the dishes and the girl on the right polishing shoes, the text below in stylised red letters.
