In 1988, as the Soviet Union grappled with internal change and the concept of "socialism in one country," G. Gerash's poster "Strengthen Unity in the Fight for Peace and Socialism" emerged as a symbol of the era. This concept, conceived by Stalin, held that socialism could succeed in the Soviet Union despite its isolation and technological backwardness. It was a belief that resonated with many Bolsheviks and was reflected in the poster's imagery.

The poster's dominant red color and central fist symbolize collective strength and determination. Surrounding elements, including a red circle poster and a sign with a red and white background, convey a message of unity and struggle.This poster echoes the broader political climate, reflecting the balance between maintaining ideological commitment and the realities of a changing society.
