When creating posters for pornographic films, designers and artists faced serious problems. Firstly, they needed to attract the attention of the viewer, and secondly, to observe decency — after all, their products were exhibited on the streets. Children and prim old men walked past the stands inviting to adult sessions, who did not need to see overly explicit images.

In addition, in all cities of Europe and the USA, where porn was shown in cinemas, there were laws prohibiting the public demonstration of eroticism and porn. All these factors have caused the appearance of almost chaste posters advertising the most outspoken film products.

As we can see, the authors tried their best to observe decency. But it is difficult to say what guided the creators of foreign posters for popular Soviet films. Try to guess, without looking at the captions, which films these strange posters represent — you've probably seen these films.
