Second all-Soviet Union Lottery OSOAVIAKHIM

This Soviet poster was created in 1928 by artists Mikhail Dlugach and P. Karachensov for the 2nd All-Union Lottery of Osoaviakhim (Society for the Promotion of Defense, Aviation, and Chemical Construction). The design promotes lottery tickets priced at 50 kopeecks, offering the chance to win exciting travel prizes. A joyful traveler strides across two globes, ticket in hand, symbolizing journeys to Europe, the USSR, and destinations around the world. Airplanes and mapped routes highlight the promise of adventure and international mobility. The poster combines bright colors and dynamic imagery to inspire enthusiasm for aviation and encourage public participation in the lottery, which also supported Soviet defense initiatives.
