Other information

This poster is from State Archive of Russian Federation website. Copyright belongs to the chap who drew it in 1931, who with 100% certainty was a GULAG prisoner himself. Russian copyright law protects artworks 50 years after the death of the author... not sure the author survived until 1958, hope he did. Anyway I think this is very appropriate use of his (or her!) work to which the author would hardly object.
