If NiKola draws from the Soviet posters of the 30-40’s, then the satyrical magazin Krasnaya Burda from the agitation graphics of the early 20’s.

Window on the crisis. Calendar for the years 2009-2010.
The calendar takes efforts to manage the situation in an optimistic way, at least as much as our government does, and it gives at least that useful advices to the various social classes touched by the crisis. The epigrammatic chastushki which also follow the best traditions of Soviet agitprop have been also given by us in a Romanized form, so that you can enjoy their optimistic melody.
