I recently purchased a copy of this book. There are some familiar images in it, and it is a fantastic resource.
This picture, of Boris Efimov and his son, reading the book after its publication in 1950, appears in Efimov's autobiography.
The book is a collection of around 50 cartoon images.
The depiction of Winston Churchill in Efimov's 1950s cartoons is an interesting aspect of his work. Perhaps Churchill serves as an individual symbol of aggression and suspicion, rather than the personification of British foreign policy? Other representations of Britain dwindle (John Bull, a British lion, for example).
