Tegyvuoja TSRS tautų broliškoji sąjunga ir nesugriaunamoji draugystė! (Long live the fraternal union of the peoples of the USSR), Lithuanian SSR poster, 1946
Profile portraits of Stalin and Lenin sit over a map of the USSR inside a laurel wreath, above a row of faces in regional dress and a red ribbon with a Lithuanian-language slogan. The tells are the two leaders' portraits lending their standing to the message (transfer) and the virtue words 'fraternal' and 'indestructible' standing for the union itself (glittering generalities).

Translation is a machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader. Letters on the curved ribbon are small and partly obscured by the fold; diacritics are read as printed where visible. Red star markers on the map are unlabelled in the scan except for tiny city names that are illegible.
