Description:
The cigarette pack "Союзные" (lit. "Union") is clearly ideological in nature, strongly based on Soviet symbolism. The front and back are dominated by the USSR coat of arms with a hammer and sickle, surrounded by wheat ears, red flags and a map symbolizing the unity of the peoples of the USSR. The pack is golden in color, with a black font, which contrasts impressively with the iconography. On the back there is a text emphasizing the idea of the pack: it is "a symbol of the great history of the Motherland, the glory of its heroes and the labor of all Soviet people.".
