Forged in the spirit of Perestroika, this original 1988 Soviet poster by the artist Nazarov takes a playful Rubik’s Cube and turns it into a lesson on healthy choices and personal responsibility. The headline declares “Решено правильно! “Solved Correctly!”, applauding a puzzle cracked with clear values in mind. Each face of the cube highlights a pillar of wholesome daily life: a runner breaking through clouds, bright daisies, sports gear at the ready, and a crossed-out bottle reminding citizens to pick fitness over vodka. Bold colors and simplified graphics make the message easy to read from a distance, a hallmark of late Soviet visual style that mixed optimism with everyday symbols. Posters like this were central to Mikhail Gorbachev’s Perestroika era, when the state launched wide-reaching anti-alcohol and “healthy lifestyle” campaigns alongside economic and political reforms. By linking self-improvement to national progress, Nazarov’s design captures a moment when Soviet propaganda shifted from stern slogans to upbeat encouragement, urging people to build a stronger future one smart choice at a time.
