The idea of the Glavkosmos 2024 calendar is to rebirth and mix the most famous paintings and illustrations of the great Russian classics with science fiction themes. An opportunity to look at well-known characters, plots and images in a new way and imagine the probable future of our compatriots beyond the Earth.

These illustrations are filled with ideas of conquering endless space, colonizing new distant worlds, developing genetic engineering, technocracy and, of course, beauty!
