How We're Building a Purpose Led Business

Knowledge For All | Russia | 1972

In 2019, we made the decision to donate 1% of all Comrade Kiev’s revenue to causes that align to our values. Every year, we’re increasing that percentage by 1% until 10% of Comrade Kiev’s revenue goes towards supporting impactful causes in 2029.  

As a small business, every dollar counts, but our moral obligation cannot wait. 2020 was a particularly challenging year for the world. We donated closer to 5% of revenue, a total of £965.34, to causes including the BLM movement, humanitarian aid after the Beirut explosion, offsetting our carbon footprint, and fighting for free speech and human rights all around the world. Here’s a link to those receipts

In 2021, we’ll increase that amount to 3% of all revenue. Thank you all for your support. You can read more about how we’re doing our part here

What's in a Name? Comrade Kiev becomes Comrade Kyiv

A flea market in Kyiv was where it all began. I stumbled across a collection of almost 100 posters and instead of buying just a few, I bought them all. In that moment, I knew I had to share them with the wider world. Over the past few years, I’ve built a purpose driven business selling original vintage posters from Ukraine and many of the other former Soviet Republics. Today, I’m righting a wrong by changing our name from Comrade Kiev to Comrade Kyiv.

Celebrating 60 Years of Humans in Space with a New Tour

60 years ago today, humans left Earth for the first time. On 12th April 1961, Soviet cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, achieved Godlike status when he orbited the earth for 1 hour and 48 minutes onboard the Vostok 1. From outer space, borders vanish; and the conflicts that divide nations fade away. Space is our future.

Announcing Sustainable, Ethical, Design-led Tours to the Former USSR

Posters tell the stories of the USSR. But not the whole story. The rest needs to be experienced. I’ve had several customers ask for advice on travelling to the former Soviet republics. In my own experience, I’ve found that travelling to many of these countries is often difficult. I wanted to change that.

We’ve Integrated with Klarna to Make Art More Accessible

Soviet posters were often printed by their thousands. But most were thrown away when the movie or movement was over. The rest usually ended off in attics or basements where water, termites and time slowly destroyed them. The posters that survive today, in good condition, are increasingly rare.
