This item is a custom printed tile accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent a miniature version of what is arguably the most famous and iconic propaganda poster of the Soviet Union.
The artwork is a detailed recreation and homage to the legendary 1941 poster “The Motherland Calls!” (in Russian: “Родина-мать зовет!”, Rodina-mat’ zovyot!) by artist Irakli Toidze. The original poster became the definitive symbol of Soviet resistance and patriotism during the German invasion in World War II.
On this tile, the powerful allegorical figure of Mother Russia has been cleverly replaced by a female toy minifigure. She is depicted in a red dress with a stern, determined expression. She mimics the famous pose of the original: one hand is raised, calling her children to defend the nation, while the other holds up the text of a military oath. In the background, a sea of bayonets symbolizes the mass mobilization of the Red Army.
The red Russian text at the top is the poster’s famous title, which translates to “The Motherland-Mother is Calling!” or more commonly, “The Motherland Calls!” This accessory is a perfect, historically significant detail for any diorama depicting the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War (WWII).
