An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures approximately 29" x 43") (Learn More) Bitva za Nashu Sovetskuyu Ukrainu (released in the U.S. in 1944 as "Ukraine in Flames"), the 1943 Aleksandr Dovzhenko (billed as "Alexander Dovzhenko"), Youlia Solntseva, & Ya. Avdeenko Russian World War II (WWII) documentary ("Russia gives you a sensational new film"; "The full story of Germany's unspeakable crimes in the Ukraine... The swift and terrible vengeance of the Red Army... Made by 24 fighting cameramen"; "These are the victims"; "These are the avengers"; "These are the survivors"; "Official record of the great offensive") featuring Nicolai Vingranovski, Boris Andreev, Svetlana Jgoun, Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, Konstantin Rokossovsky, and narrated by Bill Downs. Note that Aleksandr Dovzhenko was a child of farmers who became a major Russian director. He made this documentary showing how brutal the Nazis had been in their attack on Russia, and how the Russians had heroically fought back the Nazis and greatly helped win World War II, but at the loss of millions of lives. Since America was still a close ally with Russia when this movie was made, it was glowingly released in the U.S. in 1944, but just a couple of years later, Russia would become America's bitter enemy, and new U.S. movies were made that denounced Russia!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some creases and vertical tears in the left of the middle foldline. There were some creases and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did not touch up the tiny paper loss at the middle crossfold, and you can see signs of the tears in the left half of the middle foldline. Also, at some point after the poster was linenbacked, it was roughly handled, and there are now three creases in the upper left border, both in the excess linen and in the blank border of the poster (but not extending into the actual image area at all).
