The size is continental standard 6" x 4", postally unused and unmarked. Published by IZOGIZ Publishing House, circulation 75,000 copies, rather low by Soviet standards. Artwork by the famous Soviet trio of caricaturists working under the pseudonym "Kukryniksy" ("Кукрыниксы"). The title of the poster is a Russian saying which, loosely translated, means "a debt is only as good as its repayment". The text under the images is a short verse by the famous Russian Soviet poet Samuil Marshak glorifying WW2 Soviet partisans and their subterfuge activities behind the enemy's front lines. It says "At daytime the fascist ordered the farmers to take off their hats before him. At night the farmers took off his helmet together with the head". The back is divided, the name of the artist group is printed in the left bottom corner.

In excellent condition. The colors are bright and crisp, the corner bumps are microscopic, the paper is mildly and evenly age-toned. Both sides are very clean and free of any stains, scuffs, soiling or any other damage.

This TASS Window poster was one of 1484 issues of political agitation posters published between 1941 and 1945 to boost the morale of the Soviet Army as well as the civilian population in their war effort.
