In the system of any visual art, the poster occupies an important place, sharply responding to the social moods of the time, experiencing a surge during periods of restructuring life, nationwide struggle, or creation. This art, accessible to all, is intended to mobilize the people for necessary public actions, and it was the first to develop in the history of visual arts in Kyrgyzstan, attracting the attention of graphic artists and painters. It began to strengthen in the 1960s with the emergence of professional poster artists Viktor Petrovich Zhukov and Fyodor Ilyich Zubakhin. Currently, with the activation of all spheres of Soviet society, the emergence of young professionals and specialists, the strengthening of the printing base, and the growth of exhibition activities, Kyrgyz posters have significantly expanded their sphere of influence and firmly established themselves as a socially necessary part of Kyrgyz visual art. The modern poster of the republic popularizes and makes accessible to the people the most important directives of the party and government, the main directions of politics and economics, and actively participates in shaping the Soviet way of life.
The establishment of various genres of posters in the republic in the 1960s and 1970s was contributed by the creative efforts of V. Zhukov and F. Zubakhin, a student of the classic of Soviet poster art M. Cheremykh. They actively participated in the organization and work of the agitposter workshop at the Art Fund of the Kyrgyz SSR and represented the poster at republican and all-Union exhibitions. In the 1960s, alongside them, artists from other specialties worked in the agitposter genre — graphic artists A. Mikhalev, N. Yefremenko, M. Omorkulov, painters A. Usubaliev, D. Fleckman, I. Miroshnichenko, S. Aitieva, monumentalists A. Voronin, M. Bochkarev, and others. The posters of those years addressed political themes, national economy, everyday life, culture, and education. The artistic solutions are notable in the posters "Friendship for 100 Years" (1963) by V. Zhukov and "Forever Together" (1963) by A. Voronin, dedicated to the friendship of the Kyrgyz and Russian peoples, as well as the sheets "Time Does Not Wait" (1963), "Glory to the Motherland of October" (1964), "Work is Boiling in the Fields" (1962), "Let’s Meet the XXIII Congress of the CPSU with Hard Work!" (1965), "A Worthy Meeting for Lenin's Jubilee" (1968) by F. Zubakhin; "Let’s Prepare Feed" (1964) by M. Omorkulov; "To You, Motherland" (1962), "The State is Us" by L. Tolstokulakov (1967); "Happy New School Year!" by S. Aitieva (1969).
The satirical line of the mass-produced agitational poster also developed actively. Among the best works in this area are "On Advertising, It’s Thick" (1962) by A. Mikhalev; "Promised" (1962) by D. Fleckman; "Such a Departure — Such an Income" (1963) and other posters by V. Zhukov, who worked extensively in this direction; "Bureaucrat" (1964) by A. Usubaliev.
