The lyrics, by Pavel Herman, were three verses long and told the story of the Soviet airman climbing into the future. The chorus, sung in three-part harmony by every Komsomol choir from Leningrad to Vladivostok, had a single line so blunt that nobody in the country who had ever heard it could ever forget it: <em>vyshe, i vyshe, i vyshe<\/em> \u2014 higher, and higher, and higher.<\/p>\n<p>The song was called <em>Aviamarsh<\/em> \u2014 &#8220;March of the Aviators.&#8221; It was the unofficial anthem of Soviet aviation from the day Khayt wrote it until the day the flag came down over the Kremlin in December 1991. And in those sixty-eight years it accompanied every public moment when the Soviet Union wanted to remind itself, and the world, that it had built the most ambitious aviation programme in human history.<\/p>\n<p>This series \u2014 eight pieces, one for each decade from the 1920s through the 1990s \u2014 is about how the Soviet state used aviation to tell itself who it was. It is about the cult of the pilot, the propaganda flagship aircraft, the cosmonaut posters, the films, the songs, the paintings, the statues, and the airshows. It is also about the moments when reality and propaganda diverged so far that even the loudest brass band could not paper over the gap. By the end of the series the Soviet Union itself is gone. The aircraft and the songs are still there.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:16px 20px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:8px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#333;font-size:16px\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Anthem:<\/strong> Aviamarsh (&#8220;March of the Aviators&#8221;) \u2014 Yuli Khayt, Pavel Herman, 1923<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Famous chorus:<\/strong> &#8220;Higher, and higher, and higher&#8221; (\u0412\u0441\u0435 \u0432\u044b\u0448\u0435, \u0438 \u0432\u044b\u0448\u0435, \u0438 \u0432\u044b\u0448\u0435)<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Mass-membership aviation society:<\/strong> OSOAVIAKhIM (1927) \u2192 DOSAAF (1951)<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>State propaganda flagship:<\/strong> Tupolev ANT-20 &#8220;Maxim Gorky&#8221; (1934)<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Symbolic terms for aviators:<\/strong> sokoly (falcons), orly (eagles), bogatyri (warriors)<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>950 of 2,785:<\/strong> Soviet Heroes of the Soviet Union pilots trained in DOSAAF clubs<\/p><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"display:flex;gap:14px;flex-wrap:wrap;justify-content:center;margin:18px 0 26px\"><figure style=\"flex:1 1 200px;max-width:31%;margin:0\"><img data-opt-id=1418898521  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/soviet-stamp-1961-cpa-2560-gagarin-flight.jpg\" alt=\"1961 Gagarin stamp\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px;border:1px solid #ddd\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:12px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:4px;font-style:italic;line-height:1.4\">USSR 1961 (CPA 2560) \u2014 Yuri Gagarin&#8217;s historic Vostok 1 flight.

The answer is geographical, ideological and theatrical.<\/p>\n<p>Geographically, the Soviet Union was the largest contiguous land mass any state had ever administered. Its population was scattered across eleven time zones. Aviation was the only technology that could promise to unify the country in real time. The Aeroflot route map of 1935 carried slogans printed across the empty white tundra: &#8220;Eight days from Moscow to Vladivostok by rail. Three days by air. One day by 1942.&#8221; Aviation was a promise of cohesion.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1620017119  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/soviet-aviation-propaganda-ant-20-maxim-gorky.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Tupolev ANT-20 Maxim Gorky\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The Tupolev ANT-20 &#8220;Maxim Gorky&#8221; in 1935 \u2014 eight engines, a printing press, a darkroom, a cinema and a 63-metre wingspan.

Photo: Wikimedia Commons (public domain)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ideologically, aviation embodied everything Marxist-Leninist modernism wanted to claim about itself. It was technological, collective, mass-produced, internationalist, scientific, and visibly opposed to gravity \u2014 which is a useful metaphor when your political project insists on the inevitability of historical progress. Stalin&#8217;s deputy commissar of heavy industry, Sergo Ordzhonikidze, said in a 1932 speech that &#8220;the bourgeois aircraft falls when its engine fails; the socialist aircraft flies on the strength of its people.&#8221; The line is rhetorical nonsense. It also captures exactly what the propaganda wanted aviation to mean.<\/p>\n<p>Theatrically, aviation made for great photographs. A Soviet pilot in a flying helmet, leaning against the prop hub of an ANT-25, was an icon that worked on every poster wall from Tashkent to East Berlin. A cosmonaut waving from the top of a Vostok capsule was the same icon updated for the 1960s. Both images were instantly readable. Both were also factually true: the country really had built those aircraft, those rockets, those records. The propaganda was selling something that genuinely existed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\" style=\"margin:0 0 28px\"><div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mMN3W6b0eXE\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:6px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Soviet Aviation Propaganda Film \u2014 Moscow Air Show 1967.

Valery Chkalov, who in 1937 flew the ANT-25 nonstop from Moscow over the North Pole to Vancouver, Washington, was a household name comparable to Lindbergh in the United States. Mikhail Gromov, who repeated the feat a month later and went further, was almost as famous. The three women \u2014 Polina Osipenko, Marina Raskova and Valentina Grizodubova \u2014 who in 1938 flew the Rodina from Moscow to the Far East had streets named after them in every Soviet city. The 588th Night Bomber Aviation Regiment \u2014 the &#8220;Night Witches&#8221; \u2014 became, after 1944, one of the central propaganda images of the entire Soviet Union.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=677956428  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/yuri-gagarin-first-cosmonaut-soviet.jpg\"  decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Yuri Gagarin with awards\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">Yuri Gagarin, the first human in space (12 April 1961), wearing the awards of the Soviet Union.

Brezhnev, Andropov, Chernenko and Gorbachev all used it.

The 1920s \u2014 formation period, civil aviation, ROSTA windows, the Aviamarsh anthem, the Dobrolyot postal flights \u2014 are folded into the 1930s piece, where the genre fully matured. The series then runs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1930s<\/strong> \u2014 Stalin&#8217;s Falcons, Chkalov, ANT-20 Maxim Gorky, Deyneka, the Rodina flight, the films Lyotchiki and Volga-Volga, OSOAVIAKhIM.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1940s<\/strong> \u2014 The Great Patriotic War. Pokryshkin and Kozhedub. The 588th Night Bomber Regiment. Aviamarsh as a battle song. The Il-2 Shturmovik in mass propaganda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1950s<\/strong> \u2014 MiG-15 over Korea. The first jet airliner (Tu-104). Sputnik 1, October 1957. The propaganda apparatus discovers space.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1960s<\/strong> \u2014 12 April 1961. Gagarin. &#8220;Poyekhali.&#8221; Tereshkova in 1963. Aleksey Leonov&#8217;s spacewalk 1965. The peak of the cult.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1970s<\/strong> \u2014 Salyut. Lunokhod. The routine cosmonaut. Apollo-Soyuz and the d\u00e9tente photograph. The propaganda begins to repeat itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1980s<\/strong> \u2014 Mir in orbit. Buran as the answer to the Space Shuttle. The propaganda machine is still running. The state itself is starting to fail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1990s<\/strong> \u2014 The flag comes down. Sergei Krikalev orbits as the last Soviet citizen. Mir is sold to NASA. The Aviamarsh stops being an anthem and becomes a piece of nostalgia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Across all of it the Aviamarsh kept playing. It is, in a strange way, the unifying acoustic of the whole story \u2014 a 1923 march tune that survived Stalinism, the war, Khrushchev&#8217;s thaw, Brezhnev&#8217;s stagnation, Gorbachev&#8217;s perestroika and the dissolution of the Soviet Union itself. The lyric &#8220;higher, and higher, and higher&#8221; was sung on radio at the moment Gagarin&#8217;s capsule lifted off Baikonur. It was sung at Buran&#8217;s first and only flight in November 1988. It was sung at Krikalev&#8217;s homecoming in March 1992 when he was no longer a Soviet citizen because there was no longer a Soviet Union to be a citizen of.<\/p>\n<p>The Aviamarsh is still sung today. The Russian Air Force adopted it as its official march in 2009. It is the same tune Khayt wrote in 1923, with the same words Herman wrote in 1923. What follows over the next seven pieces is the story of what those words meant \u2014 and what aviation meant \u2014 across seven extraordinary decades of Soviet history.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sources: Scott W.
