Thank you to Russia Trek
The red “mission accomplished” robot poster was posted twice.
Apart from that, what a marvellous collection!
You must love these posters, or you go to Siberia.
In space, no one can hear propaganda.
Do you have hi-res versions of this, or know who sells them? Some would make a great poster.
Amazing visuals! This are really beautiful.
“The way for man is open,” but it involves first putting tiny dogs into a tiny rocket ship…
Seriously cool. For quite a few years, I taught a short course on space exploration. I wanted a film from the Russian perspective, so I wrote to the (then) Soviet embassy asking where I could get one. I figured the Russians were so into propaganda they’d be glad to recommend one.
TWO YEARS later, I got a reply. At a time when word processors (ask your parents) were commonplace in American offices, the letter was written on a manual typewriter (ask your grandparents), and the ribbon was so old and worn I suspected Lenin had typed his high school papers with it. And they didn’t know of any films. Never did get a Russian film.
Seriously? There are dozens of such movies.
Does anyone know where to get prints of any of these?
No one makes posters like the soviets!
Looking at the USSR, it’s like a few decades ago there was an alien culture on the planet. Hard for us young’ns to imagine what world politics was like back then!
Superb artwork
“Gagarin, Titov, Nikolaev, Popovich – the mighty knights of our days”
If that’s an accurate translation, then I’d have no problem hanging that on a wall non-ironically. They’re just as important as Glenn, Shepard, and Armstrong
I wish Valentina Tereshkova and Alexei Leonov were on that list also, though.
I wonder if anyone’s ever gathered the remaining Cold War astronauts and cosmonauts for one joint gathering. It would be something to see.
The translation is accurate, but not complete. It is actually a rhyme, something like
“They were put on the track by a mighty nation
Which created priceless treasures,
And they arose, like the heroes of new legends,
Gagarin, Titov, Nikolaev, Popovich”.
Sorry, the translation is really clumsy, I just wanted to give the general idea. The second line sounds out of place in Russian too, I guess they just wanted something flattering and still rhyming.
I used to collect QSL cards from Soviet radio amateurs in the 60′s and 70′s and many of them depicted scenes like on those posters.
All your base are belong to us.
In Soviet Russia, space comes to you.
