A collection of Soviet movie posters from the 1920s to the 1940s went on display at the Proun Gallery this week. This poster is for the 1933 film "Ochir," which was produced in Leningrad. In the '20s, film ads were infused with the same avant-garde spirit that motivated the constructivists in painting and architecture, and artists tried to capture the essence of the movie on paper. They also used bright colors, though films were in black and white. By the '30s, the pace of innovation had slowed. The show runs to Nov. 6 at Proun Gallery, located at 1 4th Syromyatnichesky Pereulok, Bldg. 6, M. Chkalovskaya, Kurskaya.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
