The artist, Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov (1893-1946), was a leading Soviet poster artist, using the pseudonym Viktor Deni. He produced many Bolshevik propaganda posters, before becoming a political cartoonist for 'Pravda' in 1921. When the Second World War began he returned to propaganda posters such as this.
According to the inscription, 75,000 examples were printed by the Litizdat, the printers of 'Pravda' in Leningrad, priced at 1 Rouble, 50 Kopecs.
