Unframed reproduction of 1980 Soviet Olympic Poster – Mongolian Artist Yadamsurengiin Urzhine – Moscow Olympics

A fine art reproduction of an original 1980 Soviet Olympic poster, published by Plakat Publishing House, Moscow, and designed by Mongolian artist Yadamsurengiin Urzhine. Printed on museum-quality matte paper, ready to frame to your own specification.

The design is immediately distinctive: Misha the Bear, the beloved mascot of the Moscow Games, carries children from around the globe in an illustrative, almost storybook style. Surrounding them, a chronological arc traces every previous Olympic host city from Athens 1896 to Montreal 1976 — including the cancelled Games of 1916 and 1940–44. Woven into the composition are record-breaking athletic achievements, lending the piece a documentary quality alongside its celebratory warmth.
