About this piece of art

We found the sculpture of this female shock worker in Dnipro, Ukraine. This was a sculpture to celebrate women's labour in Soviet times.

What we know about shock workers

The "Shock worker of Communist Labour" (Ударник коммунистического труда /  Udarnik kommunisticheskogo truda) was an official title of honour awarded in the Soviet Union to those who displayed exemplary performance in labour discipline. It was awarded with a badge and certificate, as well as a cash prize.

The title of shock worker existed at least since the 1930s. However, its promotion was developed in the 1950s, to encourage a communist attitude towards work and the creation of the material-technical basis for the development of communism and education towards a communist society. Soviet propaganda was creating its own national mythology with the workers themselves as gods. A new breed of superheroes known as shock workers would spearhead the charge, and the bard of the revolution.
