Description
The circa 1914 poster by Aleksandr Deineka titled Victory for Our Most Orthodox Emperor! reflects the spirit of Imperial Russia during the First World War. While primarily known for his later works under the Soviet regime, this earlier work by Deineka captures a moment of reverence and patriotism from the late Tsarist period.
The poster, marked by its evocative message and artistic composition, commemorates the era of Emperor Nicholas II, portraying a religious and ceremonial gathering. The text translates to, "Save, O Lord, Your people... Victory to our pious Emperor!"—a rallying cry that intertwines faith with the monarchy. This reflects the deeply ingrained relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Romanov dynasty during the pre-revolutionary era.
This work captures a pivotal moment as Russia entered the tumult of the First World War. The poster embodies the duality of religious devotion and national pride, calling upon divine intervention for the success of the Tsar and his forces. By doing so, it sought to inspire unity and perseverance among the Russian people during a period of immense challenge and upheaval.
The artistic elements of the poster, characteristic of the early 20th century, echo the propagandistic style that blends narrative and symbolism. By focusing on a moment of religious solemnity and collective observance, Deineka elevates the Tsar's leadership to a divine mandate, a crucial element in garnering support for the war effort.
In historical context, the poster serves as a poignant artifact of the Russian Empire’s final years. The reverence for Nicholas II expressed here would later stand in stark contrast to the revolutionary upheaval that dismantled the monarchy just a few years later. For modern viewers, it offers a glimpse into the sentiments of loyalty, faith, and national identity that defined Russia before the seismic shifts of the 1917 Revolution.
Aleksandr Deineka, whose later works became synonymous with Soviet modernism, here demonstrates his ability to adapt his artistic vision to the prevailing cultural and political climate. This poster not only captures a historical moment but also reflects the propagandistic power of art to evoke emotion and allegiance in the face of national trials.

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
