As Soviet films were shown abroad: foreign posters of domestic cinema

We all know, and some remember, that in Soviet times very little Western music and films fell to us. Instead of Hollywood blockbusters, citizens of the USSR watched our Soviet cinema, a kind and completely vulgar, that nurtured in Soviet hearts a love for the homeland, for their neighbor, for work and for the family. But this does not mean that no one has seen our films abroad, quite the opposite: many of them were a real find, because thanks to the movie, you could get to know the citizens of a huge country better. Yes, during the Cold War, the inhabitants of the country of the soviets were represented by some robots created by the communist state, but films full of kindness, love and good jokes showed a completely different reality. So, “Operation Y” and “White Desert Sun” were loved not only by Soviet citizens, our fairy tale “Morozko” or “Mrazík”, and today they traditionally show in the Czech Republic before Christmas and New Year. And the Soviet film "Kin-dza-dza!" It was broadcast in European countries, in South and North America and was perceived absolutely not as a satire on modern society, but as a wonderful science fiction film. Well, what can we say about “Moscow does not believe in tears”: this film even won an Oscar, being recognized as the best picture in a foreign language.

But still, attention to the movie begins with posters. Namely signs should attract people to cinemas. And some artists have excelled in their work. Look at the posters that Soviet citizens met with foreign films.
