The Left Chapter has been doing a daily series of Lenin images from a Soviet collection broken into art, historical photographs and Centennial posters from around the world.

While there are still a number of the art and photography posts to come, after today we will have shared all of the centennial posters that marked the 100th anniversary of his birth in 1970.

Here we share all eleven of these from countries like Cuba, the DPRK, Vietnam, Italy, Hungary, Uruguay and elsewhere in a single post.

Today is the 152nd anniversary of Lenin's birth.
