About this poster:
This vintage Soviet poster from 1924 is a striking example of early Soviet propaganda and advertising during the New Economic Policy (NEP) era. The artwork features bold, geometric shapes, dynamic angles, and a limited color palette dominated by red, black, yellow, and blue, characteristic of the Constructivist art movement.
The central image includes a determined pilot's face and an airplane, linking aviation with national progress. The main text, "The Most Reliable and Powerful Barrier of the USSR's Industrial Production," frames a montage of advertisements for various Soviet trusts and organizations, such as the Industrial Bank (Prombank), the Moscow Food Trust (Mosselprom), the All-Russian Tobacco Syndicate, and the Precision Mechanics Trust. The messaging promotes state industry and encourages citizens to invest in ventures like Dobrolet, the voluntary air fleet society.
Dobrolet was a joint-stock company established in 1923 to raise funds for developing civil aviation in the USSR through public subscriptions. Its purpose was to build air infrastructure and connect the vast Soviet territories by air, leveraging public support and commercial principles within the state-controlled economy of the NEP period. This poster reflects the state's effort to mobilize both economic activity and public enthusiasm for national development projects.
