One sheet vintage Soviet-era Intourist travel poster promoting the city of Minsk, the capital of Belarus (then known as the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic).
Key Details of the Poster:
• The Location: The main image captures Victory Square (??????? ?????????) in central Minsk. At the center stands the iconic 38-meter-tall Victory Monument obelisk, topped with a replica of the Soviet Order of Victory.
• The Text:
• The top text reads "MINSK: CAPITALE DE LA BIÉLORUSSIE SOVIÉTIQUE" (French for "Minsk: Capital of Soviet Byelorussia").
• In the background, slogans on top of the residential buildings read (Russian for "The feat of the people is immortal").
• The Brand: In the upper right corner, you can see the logo for Intourist, which was the official state-run travel agency handling all foreign tourism inside the Soviet Union. Posters like this were printed in French, English, German, and other languages to attract Western tourists to Eastern Bloc cities. |
