Load and Unload in Less Time! - Original Russian Propaganda Poster

A bold DONA collective poster promoting efficiency in Soviet rail transport. A gigantic hand grips a stopwatch above converging railway tracks, while freight and passenger trains rush toward the viewer in a dramatic, almost cinematic perspective.

The slogan reads: “Idle railcars are a heavy burden — load and unload in less time!”

Hand screen-printed on heavy paper stock, the poster combines DONA’s characteristic vibrant colors, simplified forms and dynamic geometry with a striking sense of speed and industrial urgency.

Agitplakat Dona was a poster collective established in Rostov-on-Don in the early 1960s, bringing together artists and writers whose designs were subsequently distributed throughout the Soviet Union.
