An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Russian Movie Poster (measures 23" x 31 1/2" [58 x 80 cm]) (Learn More) Synovya (literally translates to "Sons" and released in the U.S. in 1947 as "The Road Home"), the 1946 Aleksandr Ivanov Russian World War II (WWII) concentration camp melodrama (set in German occupied Latvia during World War II, about a Latvian farmer who is arrested by the Nazis, and he escapes, and they try to capture him by using his family as hostages, but he outwits them) starring Oleg Zhakov, Lidiya Smirnova, Nikolai Chibbius, Vasili Vanin, and Anna Petukhova. Note that after World War II, Russia made many anti-German movies, exposing atrocities committed by the Germans towards Russia during World War II, and this was one of them. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this Russian poster (and that same example has been reconsigned to us for this auction so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!). Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from right after World War II and before are extremely rare, surely because of the lack of paper during World War II, which caused them to recycle almost all old paper, but Russian posters are even more rare, because so few posters made it out of Russia after World War II, due to the Cold War. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has a small stain at lower left and some light fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
