Titled “Misha and Russian Dolls”, the composition unfolds diagonally — a procession of classic red and floral matryoshka (nesting) dolls, each opening to reveal the next, until Misha the Bear himself emerges from the smallest, proudly wearing his signature Olympic ring belt. Misha was designed by children’s illustrator Viktor Chizhikov and remains one of the most beloved mascots in Olympic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe image is warm, folkloric, and unmistakably Soviet — a piece of soft-power diplomacy at a politically charged moment. The 1980 Moscow Games were overshadowed by a major international boycott, yet Misha endured as one of the most commercially successful and fondly remembered mascots of any Games. This is a rare original from that era, not a reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% Guaranteed Original Vintage Poster — not a modern reprint or reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist: Garegin Bucrnuchyan (Armenian SSR)\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1980\u003cbr\u003eEvent: XXII Summer Olympic Games, Moscow\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Late Soviet-era illustration, warm nostalgic palette\u003cbr\u003eSize: 36 x 56 cm (14.2 x 22.0 in)\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Offset lithograph on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall: Very Good (Vintage Grade)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear: Minor handling wear along the edges, including a soft vertical crease near the bottom-left corner and slight curl from rolled storage.
