A striking modernist composition dominated by a stylized figure rendered in black and gray against a cream-colored background. The figure appears bird-like or aircraft-like in profile, with a geometric head shown in profile against a bold red sky or background shape. The head features sharp, angular lines creating a stern, forward-looking expression. A decorative star-like emblem appears near the bottom left of the figure, rendered in red, black and gold. Two red circular shapes float in the composition's right side, while a pale pink section occupies the upper right corner. The overall effect suggests both mechanical and organic forms, with the tension between red and neutral tones echoing the Cold War theme referenced in the title.
