Pocket-sized, measures 4.5 x 6" . Published by the Soviet Artist Publishing House, circulation merely 25,000 copies, extremely low by Soviet standards.

Inside, there is a short article about the artists and their art, a drawing of them reading something together. Unfolding further opens up on nine b/w prints of some of their most famous WW2 caricatures and paintings, including illustrations to some of Chekhov's stories, and two large oil/canvas paintings: Tanya depicting the Germans' atrocities during the war, and The End, the 1948 large oil/canvas painting depicting the agony of the end of Hitler's reign.

In excellent condition. There is no wear to report except for minimal scuffing to the "spine" fold line.

KuKryNiksy was the collective pseudonym of Mikhail Kupriyanov, Porfiriy Krylov, and Nikolai Sokolov, twice laureates of the Stalin Prize, members of the Academy of Arts of the USSR.
