A scene with two smiling workers shaking hands: a worker from Ostrava (the one on the left wearing a red tie) and a worker from Stalingrad (the one on the right wearing a kosovorotka shirt). The figures stand against a background with an industrial theme. In the center between the workers there is a brightly shining red five-beam star. Below are the inscriptions: “Družba Ostravsko-Stalingrad” and “Bez hrdinství stalingradských nebylo by naší svobody!” (We would not be able to enjoy our freedom, if not for the heroic Stalingrad defense!).

Ridd. Painting “Invincible Stalingrad – the Cemetery of German Fascism.”
The painter depicted the Square of the Fallen Fighters in the last days of the Stalingrad Battle: a Red Army soldier is hoisting a flag on the Red Army House, a column of war prisoners is moving across the square, in the background on the left the ruins of Central Department Store and other buildings can be seen. The painter was inspired by a photo taken by Grigory Kapustyansky, special correspondent of the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper. This photo known under the caption “The Victory Flag in Stalingrad on February 3, 1943” was featured in the world’s leading mass media. The picture is fixed on a cardboard passe-partout; the inscription on the lower edge made in the Russian language reads: “Invincible Stalingrad – cemetery of the German fascism”. The inscription to the right reads: “Ridd S”, the inscription below: “Havana / 1945”.
