(USSR).The Background: Silhouette layers representing previous generations of Soviet "fighters," including a revolutionary soldier from the Russian Civil War era holding a rifle.Symbolism: Three prominent red stars bridge the generations together. The striped, scanline visual effect represents a modern, techno-futuristic aesthetic typical of late-1960s Soviet space race graphic design. |
