# 65 de ani de la făurirea Partidului Comunist Român: Romanian party-anniversary poster

Colour poster for the party's 65th anniversary: a large portrait of Ceaușescu in a laurel wreath over a flag, the party emblem, a skyline of factories, bridges and an atom symbol, and a massed crowd carrying placards 'PCR 65', 'Epoca Ceausescu' and 'Partidul Ceausescu România'. The tell: the party's 1921 founding is staged as the leader's own, with flag, wreath and crowd lending the party's prestige to his portrait.
