Title: “With a Spear our Foe was Defeated, Then We Used a Gun, As Before With Steel we Fought Him, So We Smash Him Where We Spot Him”

This poster belongs to a vintage set of 32 Soviet poster reproductions called “Soviet Political Posters” published in 1983 in the Soviet Union (Leningrad).

Kukryniksy was the collective pseudonym used by three Russian painters, illustrators and graphic designers who were active from 1924 until the 1980s. They are most renowned for their Soviet propaganda posters, of which their anti-Nazi posters during Hitler's failed invasion of Russia are nowadays the most famous. Kukryniksy also made regular editorial cartoons of a political nature and more innocent illustrations for novels by Russian and foreign authors. The collective was awarded and decorated numerous times throughout their productive career.
