The Baikal-Amur Mainline was announced in 1974 as the construction project of the century and built by Komsomol brigades across four thousand kilometres of permafrost. Its graphics were never one house style: each Soviet republic was assigned a station, and each brought its own ornament and its own alphabet.

What survives is enamel badges, recruitment sheets and frost-heave survey drawings on warm uncoated stock. This system takes that literally — flat cloisonné colour fields with metal keylines, condensed Cyrillic-capable grotesques, and a route line that runs as a spine with station nodes on it.
