About the Item
This evocative original Soviet travel poster celebrates one of Russia’s most breathtaking cultural treasures: the wooden Church of the Transfiguration on Kizhi Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a jewel of Russian architecture. Issued by Aeroflot, the Soviet state airline, the poster forms part of a broader campaign inviting both domestic and international travelers to explore the historical and architectural wonders of the USSR.
The image is dominated by the 22 onion domes of the 18th-century wooden church, rising in rhythmic harmony against a radiant blue sky. Crafted entirely without nails, the structure represents the pinnacle of Russian carpentry and spiritual design, rooted in the traditions of the Russian North. The upward angle of the shot and the inclusion of delicate foreground flora create a sense of awe and timeless reverence.
Beneath the image, the Aeroflot logo and Cyrillic name appear boldly, reinforcing the airline's role as a gateway to the vast and culturally rich landscapes of the Soviet Union. The vertical text at left—“КИЖИ” (Kizhi)—anchors the location, inviting the viewer to step into the past through the lens of modern air travel.
This poster merges heritage tourism and Soviet modernity, a juxtaposition that captures the ideological essence of Aeroflot's visual campaigns in the 1970s. Ideal for collectors of aviation memorabilia, Russian cultural history, or vintage travel ephemera, this piece stands as a stunning tribute to the meeting point between art, faith, and flight.
