Kukryniksy


 
Kukryniksy 
(Russian, founded 1924)
Dem'ian Bednyi
(Born Gubovka, 1883; died Moscow, 1945)

Thus Shall It Be!, TASS No. 0633, December 28, 1942 

Stencil
2070 x 870 mm
Wiping cold sweat from his brow.
At the New Year
Bloodthirsty Hitler's fortune-telling:
"What will I see?"
And drawing out a random card,
The accursed snake
Cries out in terror:
"Death, The Queen of Spades!"
He presses his snout to the glass,
And to the question,
"What will I see?"
He sees the answer:
A skeleton face!
Midnight struck, and here,
THe New Year,
Coming through the door,
Summed up
Hitler's fortune-telling:
Thus shall it be!
Ne boltai! Collection, Obj: 203745
