These are great! Finished my dissertation on Russian Constructivism in 2007 - this would have been a brilliant source. Think I saw a few in the tate (london) (i think) theres a room full of them. Its pretty spooky having all these faces looking down on you.. + they always seem to follow you round the room.
good stuff

These are impressive posters. It's amazing to me that so long ago this graphic design style was used and everyone seems to be coming back around to it full circle. Definitely commands ones attention.

You do know that the second poster from the top says, "Books are a stream of knowledge, treasure your libraries.", Yeah, those soviets, crazy ideas, books for gods sake. Who would have thought?!

Beautiful posters. Designer & marketers are still using communism impact (images of old leaders dictators, symbols) in publicity, because they can easy capture the attention of the public.

Boy, these are great! I really do like this monotome, solid style. Really nice collection.

Nice collection of poster's, I really like them, don't know, but I think there something about this kind of style that make's it hard to look away, they keep me fascinated.

Aww man, when I saw this, I thought "Soviet Poster a Day" had come back.

These are awesome... but there are a lot more to look at at the Soviet Poster a Day blog... unfortunately it hasn't been active for a couple months now.
