Soviet Cosmonautics Day Modernist Poster

This is an original Soviet state-produced poster for Cosmonautics Day (День Космонавтики) featuring striking modernist geometric design. Against a deep blue starfield, white rectangular panels filled with colorful horizontal and vertical lines in pink, yellow, turquoise, red, and blue create an abstract data visualization aesthetic. The panels frame views of space showing Earth, the Moon, a satellite, and celestial bodies. Large white Cyrillic letters spell "АПРЕЛЬ" (April) at bottom, with "День Космонавтики" (Cosmonautics Day) on a rocket-shaped banner below. Official state printing information appears along the edges.

This official state poster celebrates Cosmonautics Day on April 12, commemorating Yuri Gagarin's historic 1961 spaceflight. The modernist design with its computer punch card aesthetic reflects the technological optimism of the Soviet space program, blending abstract data visualization with cosmic imagery to represent humanity's digital conquest of space.

Good vintage condition. Poster shows moderate edge wear and visible fold lines. Some surface scratching. Colors remain vibrant. Text legible.
