American Liberty Is In The Hands of People Stranglers (literal translation of the Russian title), the 1968 Russian political poster featuring art of a military officer holding an axe and breaking free from the Statue of Liberty by Kukryniksy. Kukryniksy was actually three artists (Mikhail Kupriyanov, Porfiri Krylov, and Nikolai Sokolov) who went to a Moscow art school together in the 1920s. They became famous in the 1930s for their work with the Moscow satirical paper, Krokodil, and received international recognition for their attacks on Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels, and Francisco Franco. All three were awarded the honorary title of People's Artist of the USSR in 1958.

Important Added Info:

UPDATED 07/04/2014: Note that a knowledgeable collector has provided more information about this poster and we have updated the description accordingly!

Condition: good to very good. There are a few 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster that have been repaired with conservation tape from the back. There is a horizontal crease at upper left extending into Liberty's head and there are minor creases scattered throughout the poster. There are small labels on the back of the poster at upper left, but they do not appear to have any effect on the front. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
