| Description: | Russian Caricature WWII Poster. Publishing House Isskustvo Moscow, 1941 Leningrad. "Kukryniksy" - this complex abbreviation was created by artist friends, the word is made up of the first syllables of the names Kupriyanov and Krylov and the first three letters of the name and the first letter of the surname of Nikolai Sokolov. Their joint work began in their student years at the Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops (Vkhutemas). At first they were designated as Kukry or Krykup, and when Sokolov joined them in 1924, they already worked as three of them as Kukryniksy. Since then, millions of readers have not really thought that these caricatures were drawn by very specific and deserved people - Heroes of Socialist Labor Mikhail Kupriyanov (1903 - 1991), Porfiry Krylov (1902 - 1990) and Nikolai Sokolov (1903 - 2000). |
