Despite adopting a policy of state atheism, the secularization project of the Soviet Union could do nothing to sever the cultural connection to Christmas. Below are some “holiday” cards from the Soviet era, but one can easily detect efforts at sneaking familiar Christmas traditions into what had become the “Soviet New Year” celebration. You can see the character of Ded Moroz, formerly an evil sorcerer from Slavic mythology—he was said to freeze and kidnap children without conciliations from their parents. His striking resemblance to Santa is the result of a massive rebrand by the Orthodox Church to mimic the Dutch Saint Nicholas. Of course, after the Russian Revolution, Ded Moroz was declared “an ally of the priest,” and was subsequently (and somewhat awkwardly) retrofitted over the Soviet New Year holiday. In 1935, high-ranking Soviet politician (and primary facilitator of the famine-genocide in the Ukraine), Pavel Petrovich Postyshev spoke out in defense of Christmas, arguing that its pre-Christian origins and value to children should exempt it from condemnation as bourgeois or religious. This paved the way for a more lenient view on the holiday. In 1937, Stalin even commissioned a Ded Moroz for public appearances, commanding, however, that they wear blue,...
I make original portraits of famous writers and persons. I try to show their works (novels, poems, historical events) on their face. For every piece of my work I need approximately 30-40 hours, because I draw with rapidographs, and I love doing things in a more complicated way so my drawing technique is dotting. Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin sometimes anglicized as Eugene Zamyatin, was a Russian author of science fiction and political satire.

In the 69 years of its existence the Soviet Union, or USSR, became an industrial and technological behemoth. The communist union of republics (many of which were unwilling members that were kept behind the iron curtain by force), sent the first man into space, was the catalyst behind the defeat of the Nazis and had a list of rather impressive achievements in its short history, despite obvious flaws in the makeup of its society.

Brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky were at the heart of Soviet science fiction; reviewer Juan Vidal says The Dead Mountaineer's Inn is less edgy than some of their work, but still a must-read.
The images below are from the Soviet anti-religious magazine, Bezbozhnik, which translates to “Atheist” or “The Godless.” It ran from 1922 to 1941, and its daily edition, “The Godless at the Workplace,” ran from 1923 to 1931. The scathing publication was founded by the League of Militant Atheists, an organization of the Soviet Communist Party members, members of its youth league, workers and veterans, so while it was in many ways a party project, it was not state-sponsored satire. The Soviet Union adopted a formal position of state-atheism after the revolution but it wasn’t a clean break. The expropriation of church property and the murder or persecution of clergy was certainly the most obvious supplantation of power, but the USSR was a giant mass of land, most of it rural and much of it pious, so the cultural crusade against religion was an ongoing campaign for the hearts and minds of citizens who might resist a sudden massive secularization. The monstrous, violent art you see below depicted religion as the enemy of the worker and footman to capitalism. You’ll notice a wide array of religions depicted, as the USSR was very religiously diverse. Depicting the Muhammad, the Christian god, and...

A Soviet movie poster from 1926.
Released in English speaking countries as "Moscow-Cassiopea", this 1974 Soviet science fiction film was an absolute adventure for all lucky enough to take a seat. When intelligent beings from the star system Shedar, located in the Cassiopeia constellation, have their radio signals finally reach Earth after years of tribulation, it is up to the Soviet forces in Moscow to send a spaceship into the stratosphere to answer their cries. Needless to say this journey into the ether is quick to sends us into a tailspin all its own. More importantly, these incredible graphics by Russian illustrator Maciej Zbikowski are next to none. With the innerworkings of this collared man telepathically transporting the Russians into the sky, there is no telling what will happen next! Brilliant, and divine color choices all around. With the blood orange silhouette of the man leaning into a shaded gradient, we can't help but have our eyes darting towards the stars! The perfect addition for the sci fi or star lover in your life. Condition: Very Good. Original centerfold present. Minor toning in accordance with posters age. Light border wear. Please use zoom feature to get a better understanding of overall condition.
