Original Item: Only One Available. This is a good example of a WWII era (possibly earlier) poster promoting the rationing of milk in the Soviet Union. The poster, which displays numerous repairs with tape, is still a solid example for its age.

The poster is in remarkable condition despite showing signs of overall age toning and heavily worn edges with tearing throughout. The colors are still vibrant with the image sharp and clear. It's a testament to the quality of the original printing and the care that has been taken to preserve it. This poster would be a perfect addition to any collection of military memorabilia or a great choice for framing and display in a home or office.

Comes more than ready to be translated and displayed.

Rationing in the Soviet Union was introduced twice since its creation, both instances during periods of economical hardships.

1931–1935
In 1931, the Politburo introduced a unified rationing system for foodstuffs and basic commodities and norms of rationing applied throughout the entire USSR. Besides bread, rationing applied to other foodstuffs, including products like sugar, tea, oil, butter, meat, and eggs.

The rationing existed up to 1935, ending in six main stages. Beginning in May 1931, most industrial consumer goods were removed from the rationing system. Then, between March and April 1932, some food items began being removed from the rationing system. From 1932 to 1934, ration prices of foodstuffs and consumer goods were increased. The state also began selling increasing amounts of these goods off the rations at higher prices. At the beginning of 1935, the rationing of bread was abolished, followed by the end of rationing of all foodstuffs in October 1935. Rationing officially came to an end on January 1, 1936 when rationing of all industrial goods was abolished.
