Handmade of copper. With the image of Che Guevara. Ernesto “Che” Guevara (1928-1967) was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.
As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed. His desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States. prompted his involvement in Guatemala’s social reforms.
Later in Mexico City, Guevara met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granma with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second in command and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.

Wallpiece from Bulgaria with the image of Georgi Dimitrov. The relief is amde of copper and could have been part of a larger ornament. Georgi Dimitrov Mihaylov (1882-1949) was a Bulgarian communist politician. He was the first communist leader of Bulgaria from 1946 to 1949. Dimitrov led the Communist International from 1935 to 1943.
Dimitrov died on 2 July 1949 in the Barvikha sanatorium near Moscow. The rising speculations that he had been poisoned have never been confirmed, although his health seemed to deteriorate quite abruptly. The supporters of the poisoning theory claim that Stalin did not like the “Balkan Federation” idea of Dimitrov and his closeness with Tito. Others, most notably Enver Hoxha, suppose that Dimitrov was poisoned by Nikitia Khrushchev, Anastas Mikoyan, and other anti-Stalinists in the Soviet leadership. After the funeral, Dimitrov’s body was embalmed and placed on display in Sofia’s Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum. After the fall of Communism in Bulgaria, his body was buried in Sofia’s central cemetery in 1990. His mausoleum was torn down in 1999.

Wallplate made in the DDR with the image of Ernst Thalmann. Ernst Thalmann (1886-1944) was a German communist politician. He was leader of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) from 1925 to 1933. A committed Stalinist, Thalmann played a major role in the political instability of the Weimar Republic in its final years, when the KPD explicitly sought the overthrow of the liberal democracy of the republic. Under his leadership the KPD became intimately associated with the government of the Soviet Union and the policies of Joseph Stalin, and from 1928 the party was largely controlled and funded by Stalin’s government.
The KPD under Thalmann’s leadership regarded the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as Social fascists. Thalmann viewed the Nazi Party as a lesser evil than the social democrats, and in 1931 his party cooperated with the Nazis in an attempt to bring down the social democrat state government. Thalmann believed that a Nazi dictatorship would fail due to flawed economic policies and lead to a revolutionary situation in which the communist party gained power.
Thalmann was also leader of the paramilitary Roter Frontkampferbund, which was banned as extremist by the governing social democrats in 1929, and in 1932 he established Antifaschistische Aktion or Antifa, which concentrated its attacks on the social democrats. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1933 and held in solitary confinement for eleven years; Stalin did not seek his release when he entered into the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Germany, and Thalmann’s party rival Walter Ulbricht ignored requests to plead on his behalf. Many of Thalmann’s closest associates who had emigrated to the Soviet Union were executed during the Great Purge of the 1930s. Thalmann was shot in Buchenwald on Adolf Hitler’s personal orders in 1944.
In the First World War he was posted to the artillery on the western front, where he stayed till the end of the war, during the course of which he was wounded twice. He said that he fought in the following battles: Battle of Champagne (1915–1916), Battle of the Somme (1916), Second battle of the Aisne, Battle of Soissons, Battle of Cambrai (1917) and Battle of Arras (1917).

Wallplate made in Cuba. The figure on the plate is Eduardo Chibas. Eduardo René Chibás Ribas (1907-1951) was a Cuban politician who used radio to broadcast his political views to the public. He primarily denounced corruption and gangsterism rampant during the governments of Ramón Grau and Carlos Prío which preceded the Batista era. He believed corruption was the most important problem Cuba faced.
Born in Santiago de Cuba to Eduardo Justo Chibás Guerra and Gloria de Ribas Agramonte, Chibás’ strong nationalism is considered to be an inspiration for the Cuban Revolution.
In 1947 he formed the Orthodox Party, a strongly anti-imperialist group, which had the goal of exposing government corruption and bringing about revolutionary change through constitutional means. Chibás lost the 1948 election for president, finishing in third place. He was an extremely strong critic of that election’s winner, Carlos Prío Socarrás. He was considered a favorite in the 1952 presidential election, but committed suicide a year before Fulgencio Batista seized control of the Cuban government.

Plate made in Vietnam, 2002, with the image of Ho Chi Minh. The text on the plate reads:”58th anniversary of the establishment of vietnam. National Day of the Dead”. Vietnamees is hard to translate so the translation could be a bit off. The plate is made to commemorate Vietnam.
The country came into existence after Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945 in Hanoi’s Quảng trường Ba nh Square. The country then became independent from the Union of Indochina.
He read passages from the American Declaration of Independence, replacing the word England with France. This statement was made available to him by a member of the OSS, a precursor to the CIA. Almost immediately after this, Ho and his Vietminh were expelled from Hanoi by the French and fought a heavy war with the French. This would become the First Indochina War. In this, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam recaptured the area in the north of Vietnam, while in the south the French-backed State of Vietnam was established under Emperor Bao Đại.

Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince of Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg, known as Otto von Bismarck was a German statesman who conceived the unification of Germany in 1871 and was the first chancellor until 1890, in which he dominated European affairs for two decades.
He was previously Prime Minister of Prussia (1862-1890) and Chancellor of the North German Confederation (1867-1871). He provoked three short, decisive wars against Denmark, Austria and France. After the victory against Austria, he abolished the national German Confederation and instead formed the North German Confederation as the first German nation-state, aligning the smaller North German states behind Prussia and excluding Austria.
With the support of the independent southern German states in the defeat of France by the Confederation, he formed the German Empire and unified Germany.

Tile made in Spain and is about the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The text on the tile reads:”International Freedom Volunteers”. On the right bottom there is UGT, meaning General Union of Workers and was founded in 1888. General Francisco Franco confined the UGT to exile and clandestinity after his victory in the Spanish Civil War until his death in 1975. The Union emerged from secrecy during the democratic transition after Franco’s death.
It is unclear when this tile was made. It could have been made in 1966 when the UGT commemorated the Spanish civil war and the same images as this tile were used. Also there are reproductions of this tile made in 1996. They look the same but in the right upper corner there is “1996”” instead of the coat of arms. So it is also possible that this tile is from 1996.

Propaganda paintings cut from a very large oil painting and reframed. This painting futures the Aurora who fired the first shot in the October Revolution 1917. The paintings have hung in a government building as propaganda pieces for Communism. Beautiful ! So rare. After the 1956 revolution and the departure of the Soviet Union from Hungary, everything related to the CCCP was removed and destroyed. Fortunately, these paintings were removed from their original frame and cut into pieces, rolled up and taken home and eventually ended up in the attic where they have only now been found again.
All paintings have been re-stretched on new frames and are in good condition.
They were probably painted on canvas from the late 1950s, early 1960s, which looks like linen. You will never see this again! Very special.
The Aurora was made in 1903 and most of the crew joined the Bolshevics who were preparing a communist revolution led by Lenin in 1917. This ship fired the first shot signalling the start of the October revolution. In WWII the guns was taken off the ship to use it for the defence of Leningrad. After the war the Aurora was a navy training vessel and later, till this day, a museum located at St. Petersburg (formaly known as Leningrad).

Wallpiece from Bulgaria with the image of Georgi Dimitrov. The relief is made of bronze on a wooden plate. In very good condition.
Georgi Dimitrov Mihaylov (1882-1949) was a Bulgarian communist politician. He was the first communist leader of Bulgaria from 1946 to 1949. Dimitrov led the Communist International from 1935 to 1943.
Dimitrov died on 2 July 1949 in the Barvikha sanatorium near Moscow. The rising speculations that he had been poisoned have never been confirmed, although his health seemed to deteriorate quite abruptly. The supporters of the poisoning theory claim that Stalin did not like the “Balkan Federation” idea of Dimitrov and his closeness with Tito. Others, most notably Enver Hoxha, suppose that Dimitrov was poisoned by Nikitia Khrushchev, Anastas Mikoyan, and other anti-Stalinists in the Soviet leadership. After the funeral, Dimitrov’s body was embalmed and placed on display in Sofia’s Georgi Dimitrov Mausoleum. After the fall of Communism in Bulgaria, his body was buried in Sofia’s central cemetery in 1990. His mausoleum was torn down in 1999.

The SED (The Socialist Unity Party of Germany) was the governing Marxist–Leninist political party of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from the country’s foundation in October 1949 until its dissolution after the Peaceful Revolution in 1989. The party was established in April 1946.
The GDR was a one-party state but other institutional popular front parties were permitted to exist in alliance with the SED, these parties being the Christian Democratic Union, the Liberal Democratic Party, the Democratic Farmers’ Party, and the National Democratic Party. The SED made the teaching of Marxism-Leninism and the Russian language compulsory in schools. In the 1980s, the SED rejected the liberalisation policies of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, such as perestroika and glasnost, which would lead to the GDR’s isolation from the restructuring USSR and the party’s downfall in the autumn of 1989.
Leuna was an industrial area in the DDR.

Ernst Thalmann (1886-1944) was a German communist politician. He was leader of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) from 1925 to 1933. A committed Stalinist, Thalmann played a major role in the political instability of the Weimar Republic in its final years, when the KPD explicitly sought the overthrow of the liberal democracy of the republic. Under his leadership the KPD became intimately associated with the government of the Soviet Union and the policies of Joseph Stalin, and from 1928 the party was largely controlled and funded by Stalin’s government.
The KPD under Thalmann’s leadership regarded the Social Democratic Party (SPD) as Social fascists. Thalmann viewed the Nazi Party as a lesser evil than the social democrats, and in 1931 his party cooperated with the Nazis in an attempt to bring down the social democrat state government. Thalmann believed that a Nazi dictatorship would fail due to flawed economic policies and lead to a revolutionary situation in which the communist party gained power.
Thalmann was also leader of the paramilitary Roter Frontkampferbund, which was banned as extremist by the governing social democrats in 1929, and in 1932 he established Antifaschistische Aktion or Antifa, which concentrated its attacks on the social democrats. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1933 and held in solitary confinement for eleven years; Stalin did not seek his release when he entered into the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact with Germany, and Thalmann’s party rival Walter Ulbricht ignored requests to plead on his behalf. Many of Thalmann’s closest associates who had emigrated to the Soviet Union were executed during the Great Purge of the 1930s. Thalmann was shot in Buchenwald on Adolf Hitler’s personal orders in 1944.
In the First World War he was posted to the artillery on the western front, where he stayed till the end of the war, during the course of which he was wounded twice. He said that he fought in the following battles: Battle of Champagne (1915–1916), Battle of the Somme (1916), Second battle of the Aisne, Battle of Soissons, Battle of Cambrai (1917) and Battle of Arras (1917).

Wallplate with the image of Mao Zedong. Very old and touched by time. Made from some sort of plaster. At one time it has been broken and repared (see pictures) and there are some damages. So with a lot of “patina”. Nevertheless a nice time piece.
