Peacekeepers
The poster, entitled “Peace Keepers”, was created earlier this year as a response to the entry of Russian ‘peacekeepers’ into Kazakhstan. It is quite obvious that this was a prelude to the attack on Ukraine planned for February 24. The poster is a sarcastic commentary on the so-called ‘Russkij mir’, the Russian world from which one should take cover in a shelter or basement.
