'Pischik's Songs' written by Nikolai Aseev and illustrated by Bronislav Malachovsky and Pyotr Snopkov in 1925. The beautiful ginger cat is too lazy to chase mice, he likes to look at the amazing shadow of his wonderful whiskers and read books.
Malakhovsky took up this project as a student, he was the first to illustrate the "Golden Key" by Alexey Tolstoy and he drew cartoons for the"Crocodile". Bronislav Malakhovsky lived only 34 years: he was accused of espionage (because he was Polish) and was executed. #Caturday
Pyotr Snopkov was a scenographer & illustrator. There is little information about him - he was arrested and died in the camp. He is often remembered for: he beat Daniil Kharms in the competition for the heart of the artist Alice Poret and even briefly became her husband.#caturday
