His pedagogical experience was embodied in a number of scientific and educational-methodical works published by him.

The works of Miron Vladimirovich of the last decade had a pronounced socio-political character. Posters such as “Maybe this is a place for me”, “Come to the country of Marlboro”, “Help the culture”, “Person of the Year” in a peculiar artistic manner demonstrate the acute contradictions of the new life in Russia. Theatrical posters are full of reflections on the place of the individual in society, the conflict nature of our world, its paradoxicality.
