{"title":"Cinema posters and playbills","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the golden age of Soviet cinema to the experimental theatre of the Eastern Bloc, this collection brings together original film posters and playbills that defined a visual culture unlike any other. Designed by some of the most inventive graphic artists of the 20th century, these pieces were created not merely to advertise — but to seduce, provoke, and inspire. Bold typography, surrealist composition, and a fearless use of colour make them as compelling today as they were on the walls of Moscow cinemas and Sarajevo theatres decades ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"soviet-theatre-poster-kolobok-vorobyeva-1986","title":"Original 1986 Soviet Theatre Poster – Artist K.

Vorobyeva’s design gives him a distinctly theatrical twist, merging his round form with a musical note to emphasise his signature song — the very thing that both saves and ultimately dooms him.

Published in March 1985 by the Vologda City Committee of the VLKSM — the Komsomol, the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League and the USSR’s mass youth organisation for citizens aged 14 to 28 — the festival carried dual cultural significance: it was dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Great Patriotic War, and it coincided with the year Moscow hosted the landmark 12th World Festival of Youth and Students — an event that injected a wave of internationalism, artistic freedom, and fresh graphic energy across the USSR, echoed here in this regional celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the design is one of the most iconic emblems of mid-1980s Soviet visual culture: the stylised five-petalled flower enclosing a globe and a peace dove, originally created by designer Lateef Kazbekov for the World Youth Festival. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);' data-subtree=\"aimfl,mfl\"\u003e(Lateef\/Latif Kazbekov is an acclaimed Russian-Kazakhstani painter and graphic artist, widely known for his intricate paper objects, large-scale watercolors, and over 70 children's book illustrations\u003c\/span\u003e.

Directed by the legendary puppet master and pioneer Evgeny Demmeni, the mid-century production combined whimsical fairytale elements with contemporary Soviet themes.

A.

Beyond his somber wartime graphics, his post-war work at Lenfilm and his magical set designs for children’s puppetry hold a cherished place in Soviet design history. Ephemeral lithographs like this were printed in limited quantities for street advertising and rarely survived the decades — making this piece an exceptional find for collectors of mid-century theatrical ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAesthetic Breakdown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing a delightfully playful composition, this poster centers on a charming Puss in Boots flanked by marionettes, a bright yellow moon, and a giant hand manipulating Pinocchio.
