Found a bunch of new posters with Soviet republics emblems and patterns. And a bonus double-sided poster with the Russian alphabet. I don’t think I can find second copies of these, so first come first serve! Published in 1988.

The large box in the center reads Корнфлекс - Kornfleks. It was the first name for corn flakes in the USSR, used in the 30s. Later, after the war and in the 50s, when corn and corn products became more common, names became more Russian-sounding.
