Have to apologise - I'm sorry! - for putting Jerry instead of Jerzy - Jerzy Flisak - thank you to my Polish speaking friends who have corrected my error! Sadly as Twitter doesn't allow you to edit tweets I shall just leave this sad comment here to show my contrition. Thanks all!

"The Wonder Tree" written by Korney Chukovsky and illustrated by Vladimir Konashevich in 1926. I really like the more "simple" style of Konashevich from the 1920's and book covers are incredibly stricking. #soviet#sovietart

"Daddy Starling, Mummy starling and Baby Starling" written by Vasily Khmelnitsky and illustrated by Boris Lapshin in 1989. Excuse my frivolous translation of the title from Russian. Lapshin has created strange, dreamy world in this little book of short stories. #soviet#sovietart

You have probably heard about dinosaurs? But they haven't heard about you. Why? Because they were so big, that the trees were for them like bushes,mountains like hills and seas like lakes but they didn't notice puddles. They didn't notice them until they caught flue and died away
🍬🍬🍬 Soviet Child's obsession with sweets continues! Chocolates and marmalade from the 1950's #soviet product catalogue. The Little Red Riding Hood chocolates you can still buy in the original wrappers, you can see her in the top middle of the picture on a yellow background.
I hope the wolf didn't eat the chocolate as chocolate is bad for dogs
"A Night in the Forest" written in Ukrainian by Natalia Kleymenova and illustrated by Evgeny Rachev in 1930. An incredibly beautiful brushwork on this amazing book about nighttime forest inhabitants. #soviet#sovietart

STARYE KUKLY, Old Dolls, by Demyan Bedny, illustrated by Kukryniksy - poems about the figures of the pre-Soviet era published in - 1930? - Bedny the poet was playing with fire with his satirical style. What pictures by Kukryniksy!

and here a later cartoon by Kukryniksy, an anti-hippy manifesto, turning his powers to satirise the young non-conformists - foreign poison? No, home grown. I recognise those mushrooms!
