An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Russian Export (printed for use in Finnish speaking areas) Movie Poster (measures 23 3/4" x 35 3/4" [60 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Vozvrashcheniye Maksima (released in the U.S. as "The Return of Maxim"), the 1937 Grigori Kozintsev & Leonid Trauberg Russian Communism political melodrama sequel (the second part of a trilogy about the Russian Revolution and its aftermath) starring Boris Chirkov (in the title role as Maxim), Valentina Kibardina, Anatoli Kuznetsov, Aleksandr Zrazhevsky, and Vasili Vanin. Note that this was the second movie in this Russian trilogy. The first was Yunost Maksima in 1935 and final was New Horizons in 1940. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this first release 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 Russian poster was printed in Russia, but was intended to be used when the movie was shown in Finnish speaking areas. Finally, 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 surface paper loss on back of the center crossfold and the paper there has thinned somewhat and it is slightly visible from the front (see our super-sized image). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after linenbacking the very rare Russian poster should display quite well! Learn More about condition grades
