This is a film poster utilizing photomontage. The spiralling design attracted me to it initially. I noticed the red and white building in a wedge shape at the top. I think this is significant, as this was after Stalin took control. Its also obvious that this image does not follow the definition of social realism. I dont think its constructivist either though. The grand tall office block style buildings speak more to me of beurocracy and economic power than a language for the proletariat, although its also likely the way I see it is jaded by a lack of knowledge of Russian history and over exposure to these sort of images being used in such a way in our society.
