“Fatherland! You lighted the star of progress and peace. Glory to the science, glory to the labor! Glory to the Soviet regime!”
“In 20th century the rockets race to the stars, the trains are going to the lands of achievements!”
“Our triumph in space is the hymn to Soviet country!”
“Socialism is our launching pad”
“We will open distant worlds”
As the Space Race heated up between the Soviet Union and the United States in the late 1950s, the Soviets ramped up the citizen support with a series of colorful propaganda posters.

Something that engages you about these posters. The colours are pretty stunning. I suppose the theme is they are all pointing to the heavens.
