HOW STALIN BANDITS PLAY MASTERS IN UKRAINE Women! You have nothing to change your and your family clothes for, and Stalin grandees feel themselves freely to rob your property from your houses. Women! Your husbands and sons died at fronts, and Stalin bandits-party members, workers of NKVD live at the cost of your labor, that you earned by hard work. Women! It's enough for your husbands and children to die as canon-fodder at odious Stalin wars! It's enough for them to die in prisons and in Siberia! Published by the Publishing House of Klym Sakura "Khasevych's woodcuts have been often used to illustrate UPA leaflets and other small-size propaganda material. This leaflet from 1947 shows "How Stalin's bandits mismanage in Ukraine." "They take the last garment from the widow," the caption says.

SERIES: CARICATURES WOODCUT MADE BY NIL KHASEVYCH FEB. 20, 1950 "The Soviet system is a "true" democracy. Communists do not rule alone, but in a bloc with non-party men. The candidates of such a bloc are elected in Soviet elections. Here we can see how the artist of the Ukrainian underground views such a bloc of communists and non-party men."
