Antonchenko was a very productive poster artist. In the field of political propaganda, his main specialty was creating posters for Soviet holidays and to celebrate important Soviet achievements. Not surprisingly, many of his posters of late 1950s and early 1960s include references to the space exploration topic. In addition to political posters, Antonchenko also worked in advertising, producing several memorable Intourist posters.
