A striking wall mural, in Komsomolsk Na Amure (Komsomolsk on Amur), in the Russian Far East.

From Wikipedia:

Komsomolsk-on-Amur (Russian: Комсомо́льск-на-Аму́ре; often transliterated directly as Komsomolsk-na-Amure) is a city located in Khabarovsk Krai, Russia on the left bank of Amur River. It is located on the BAM railway line, 356 km northeast of Khabarovsk. Population: 281,035 (2002 Census); 315,325 (1989 Census).

In the Chinese language the city is also known as 共青城 (Gongqing Cheng), literally "Komsomol City". Originally part of imperial China, the area came under Russian rule after the 1858 treaty of Aigun.

During the 20th century, the city developed into a regional centre for industries such as metallurgy, machinery, oil refining, and shipbuilding. The aircraft construction company Sukhoi has significant works based in the city. It hosts Khurba air base south of the city and Dzemgi air base to the north."

No graffiti allowed on this mural Chris!
It is interesting to see the way other countries encourage their people with drawings and statues and murals like this. It wouldn't work in NZ, or Oz.
You have a good weekend too
Kia ora

Hello Chris.
Nice looking 'WallPainting'. Very Artistic work.
So is your picture of it.
Jan

Hello Chris,
Good details and fine colour reproduction...
Typical style for this kind of communist era artwork!
A lot of artwork from this period was removed after the regime broke down, like statues in prominat places in the cities...
This seems to have survived, but then it is not associated directly with any unpopular person!
Greetings,

Bonjour Chris.
Tr_s belle prise de vue lumineuse et colorée.
Que de propagande en un seul dessin. C'est mieux que des écrits - tout le monde comprends les dessins.
Bravo !
