About the Item

Very beautiful Soviet poster on the conquest of space during the Cold War. The space race is one of the manifestations of the Cold War in which the two superpowers engaged from the end of the Second World War and which was first translated by an arms race, with the development of the first atomic bombs, bombers with very long range, then missiles carrying nuclear weapons. The space race began when the Soviets succeeded in launching the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, on October 4, 1957, thus challenging the technological supremacy of the United States. The worldwide repercussion of this space first led to a very rapid reaction from the United States, which invested massively to catch up in the field of astronautics.

1974 original propaganda poster Cosmonautics Day, celebrated on April 12 - USSR
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1974 original propaganda poster titled "12 Avril journée de la cosmonautique CCCP Yuri Gagarin" is a compelling artifact from the Soviet era, celebrating Cosmonautics Day and the achievements of Yuri Gagarin. This poster is a vivid example of how the Soviet Union used art and propaganda to promote its space program and the broader ideals of socialism and communism. Cosmonautics Day, celebrated on April 12, marks the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's historic flight in 1961 when he became the first human to journey into outer space. This day holds significant importance in Russian and Soviet history, symbolizing the technological prowess and exploratory spirit of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The poster features Yuri Gagarin, the pioneering cosmonaut whose name became synonymous with Soviet space achievements. Gagarin's smiling face and heroic pose embody the triumph of the Soviet space program and its role in the space race against the United States. His image is a powerful symbol of Soviet ingenuity, courage, and the potential of socialism to achieve great feats. The text on the poster, "Socialisme et communisme c'est le port spatiale fiable d'ou l'humanité prend d'assaut et dirigera les étendues de l'univers" ("Socialism and communism is the reliable spaceport from which humanity launches and will conquer the expanses of the universe"), reinforces the ideological message that the successes of the Soviet space program were a direct result of its socialist and communist principles. This statement reflects the deep interconnection between Soviet ideology and its scientific and technological advancements. The artistic style of the poster is typical of Soviet propaganda art...
