An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Russian Movie Poster (measures 23" x 32 1/4" [58 x 82 cm]) (Learn More) Rodnye Polya (released in the U.S. as "Native Fields"), the 1945 Boris Babochkin & Anatoli Bosulayev Russian World War II (WWII) Home Front collective farm melodrama (during World War II, almost all young Russian men were in the military, so the collective farms were worked primarily by women and children; this movie deals with one particular collective farm, where one man has been left to run it after all the other men have gone to war, and he manages to keep the farm productive so that they can send lots of food to the soldiers) starring Vasili Vanin, Olga Vikladt, Nina Nikitina, Anastasiya Zueva, and Yelizaveta Kuzyurina. Note that there were many Russian films like this made during World War II to try to keep up the morale of the people at home, and to encourage them to make sacrifices to support the soldiers fighting in the war! Artist: Richkov Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Russian poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Russian movie! It is one of a remarkable collection of 35 Russian posters we are currently offering (a very few are from non-Russian countries that were once somewhat part of Russia). These are among the most rare Russian posters there are, from the early 1920s through 1946. Not only have we only auctioned one of the 19 before (the other 18 we have NEVER auctioned), but in all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a couple of dozen Russian posters from the 1920s, and a slightly larger amount from the 1930s, and a slightly larger amount from between 1940 and 1946! Nineteen of these posters are from movies, and there are also circus posters, war posters, and others. The one common denominator to all these posters is that they have really interesting images, always completely different from those of non-Russian posters for the same movies or subjects. Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from 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. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain these incredibly rare and striking Russian posters, and many of them might not be offered again for sale or at auction for many years! 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. Most of the credits area at upper right has been torn from the poster and repaired with tape from the back (see our image). There is small paper loss in the man's face at right and there is a semi-circular tear at left in the center horizontal fold. After linenbacking with some proper restoration the very rare Russian poster should display pretty well. Learn More about condition grades
