A visually spectacular artifact from the final golden era of the Soviet Space Program — an original 1984 propaganda poster by Vladimir Feklyaev (В. Фекляев), published to celebrate Cosmonautics Day (12 апреля — День космонавтики, April 12th), the annual Soviet holiday commemorating Yuri Gagarin’s first human spaceflight in 1961.

The composition is a masterpiece of late-Soviet retro-futurism: two high-contrast stencil portraits of real cosmonauts burst from a massive crimson star against a swirling cosmic vortex of rainbow orbital trails. Behind them, a coordinate grid system and a fully pixel-mapped, dot-matrix world map — the visual language of 1980s telemetry and early digital cartography — give the piece a distinctly tech-forward, almost cyberpunk quality that sets it apart from any earlier Soviet space poster. Two original reflective gold foil circles are printed directly into the design, catching the light with every shift of angle. The deep midnight-blue background blazes against electric greens, neon pinks, and rich gold accents. This is the Soviet space programme as it wanted to be seen in 1984: modern, international, unstoppable.

The two cosmonauts depicted are drawn from the official pre-launch press photograph of the Interkosmos joint mission crew: Soviet commander Viktor Gorbatko and Vietnamese research cosmonaut Phạm Tuân — the first Vietnamese person and the first Asian person to travel to space (BBC) — photographed at Star City / Baikonur Cosmodrome as they waved to technicians, press, and officials before heading to the launchpad. Both wear white Sokol-KV2 pressure suits bearing the red-and-gold circular Interkosmos programme emblem on the chest and the USSR flag patch on the shoulder. By transforming this historic photograph into a hyper-stylised graphic layout, Feklyaev celebrates the international cooperation and technical triumph of the era in a single, electric image.

Vladimir Feklyaev (1947-2010) is a celebrated Soviet graphic designer, illustrator, and official member of the Union of Artists of the USSR. Educated at the prestigious Surikov State Art Institute in Moscow, he became renowned in the late 1970s and 1980s for innovative layouts that moved decisively away from heavy realism toward dynamic, vector-adjacent forms and modern pop-art colour theory. His works are widely collected for their unique, tech-forward style.
