Our first post about Soviet space propaganda received a lot of attention so we decided to make the second part. All the posters are available in high quality (clickable).
Glory to the Fatherland of Heroes!
Glory to the workers of Soviet science and technology!
Let there be peace!
We will open the distant worlds!
October opened the road to space!
Soviet means excellent!
In the name of peace and progress!
Glory to the conquerors of the universe!
To the glory of communism!
Into the space!
Glory to the Fatherland of Heroes!
With Lenin’s name!
Soviet man – be proud, you opened the road to stars from Earth!
From student’s models to spaceships!
Our triumph in space is the hymn to Soviet country!
Happy New Year, peace and friendship!
Happy New Year! For peace, for new progress!
Happy New Year kids!
To the Sun! To the stars!
In the 20th century, the rockets race to the stars, the trains are going to the lands of achievements!
Through the worlds and ages
Report: mission accomplished!
Homeland, your mission is accomplished!

Wonderful, powerful images! If only we still had this level of pride in space programs…

Really cool images!!!! Especially – through the worlds and centuries ….I was wondering if it’s possible to use these posters in your designs? Are they free to use or there are some restrictions?

These are beautiful. I agree with Nick Stevens. It’s a shame we don’t still have this level of excitement about space exploration.

Just started getting into Soviet Propaganda Art – I must say, these are the most beautiful works of art that I’ve ever seen!
Why don’t they make stuff like this anymore? Seriously wish I was alive when this stuff was in public.

Extraordinary, moving, inspirational as inspirational in its way as Russian classical music. Thank you. By the way, the recent video on Sparrow Hills outside of Moskva, ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz,’ was the most delightful film I’ve ever seen.

Soviet marketing (“propaganda”) was always far better than American, and it really inspired people with goals beyond the personal. The problem was, Soviet production could not actually give the people enough of the things they wanted and knew were possible.
American propaganda (“marketing”) was always backed up by production. If it was advertised, you knew it was available. The ads were not inspiring – but they made you want the product. That’s why the words “Coca-Cola” are the most recognized of any words in any human language…
