Heroically staring off into the distance, the Soviet soldier defends the border from looming threat. The depictions of the soldier, stream, and barrier allude to the overall theme of border security, likely during WWII, suggested by the soldier's Red Army helmet. The Red Army fought the Nazi forces on the Eastern Front from June 1941 to May 1945. The poster assures viewers that the Soviet army always has eyes on the border.
