Original vintage Soviet propaganda poster - They are Marching to Their Own Destruction! / Шагают к гибели своей! - featuring a dramatic design by the renowned satirical artist Viktor Deni (Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov; 1893-1946) depicting two large caricatures of men in military uniform of Nazi Germany wearing a steel helmet / Stahlhelm and swastika armband and Imperial Japan wearing glasses and an officers hat, both holding a black bomb labelled Война / War in their outstretched arms while trampling on international treaties, following the direction of a caricature of the Russian revolutionary and Soviet politician Leon Trotsky (1879-1940) wearing a black jacket marked Иуда Троцкий / Judas Trotsky holding a flaming torch in one hand and pointing towards the Soviet Union with the title and a satirical poem by Demyan Bedny (1883-1945) above: The beard of Judas Trotsky is wet with mad saliva. This vile bastard is a godsend for the fascists, raving about war: "Here, here's your sure prey, so declare war on her!" Judas hisses, pointing a finger at our mighty country. We keep a watchful eye on our enemies. They are mad, by God! They march with animal steps to their doom. We will deprive the fascists of their aplomb, squeezing them in a deadly vice. A bomb of a completely different colour will scatter them all to pieces. / Иуды Троцкого бородка Обмокла бешеной слюной. Гад этот мерзостный - находка Фашистам, бредящим войной: „Вот, вот вам верная добыча Да объявляйте ж ей войну!" Шипит Иуда, пальцем тыча На нашу мощную страну. Мы зорко смотрим за врагами. Они безумны, ей-же-ей Они звериными шагами Шагают к гибели своей. Фашистов мы лишим апломба, Зажав их в мертвые тиски, Совсем иного цвета бомба Их всех размечет на куски. Horizontal. Good condition, repaired tears, folds, restored paper losses on edges, staining, creasing, backed on linen.
