90s Russian Subculture Poster – Alisa Punk Boy & Glue Trip

A hauntingly beautiful tribute to post-Soviet youth, this museum-quality poster captures a moment suspended between nostalgia, rebellion, and surreal introspection. A young Russian boy stands in a black leather Kosukha jacket with the unmistakable Alisa rock band logo — a legendary emblem for punks and misfits of 90s Russia. He holds a tube of Moment glue in one hand and a plastic bag in the other — a quiet but disturbing reference to a real practice of glue-sniffing among disaffected youth in Russia’s lost decade.

Above him looms a surreal figure: a giant caterpillar reclining atop a red-and-white spotted mushroom roof from a typical Soviet-era children’s playground — from any common Russian courtyard. The setting bleeds into a hypnotic yellow haze, a symbolic nod to both the glue fumes and the dreamlike descent into altered consciousness. The mushroom and caterpillar are a direct reference of Alice in Wonderland, tying in to the name Alisa and evoking a psychotropic escape from a collapsing world.
