12 April — the day of cosmonautics
Fekljaev V. N.
Note this nice poster, devoted to the Soviet Cosmonautics day – the April 12, which goes back to 1961 when Yuri Gagarin became the first human being in space. This event was a result of Russian technological leap, partly caused by the Cold War confrontation and the intention of Soviet people to become the most technologically advanced country in the world. Not only numerous resources were invested in the Soviet Cosmic project, but also the best minds well brought up with help of free higher education.
The poster approximately dates back to late seventies. This is a fine example of Soviet idea adaptation. Despite censorship, new trends managed to leak out and reach soviet artists minds: here we can see the influence of pop-art pioneer Andy Warhal and the palette derived from 60s-hippie style and early Beatles record covers.

The use of the old-fashioned serif typography seems especially characteristic of the period -- sans serif was the font style of the revolution, and it was only in the fifties in Eastern Europe that the juxtaposition of older type and modern graphics became an element of cutting-edge design.
