On this poster, the author depicted famous Russian cultural figures, classics of the XIX and XX centuries, as captured soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The poster shows portraits of Fyodor Dostoevsky, Mikhail Lermontov, Mikhail Bulgakov, Joseph Brodsky, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Vysotsky, Lev Tolstoy, Viktor Tsoi and Alexander Pushkin.

With this work, the artist wanted to convey that the Russian culture, including the legacy of the depicted personalities, is currently being used by the terrorist regime of Putin to promote and justify his imperial ideas and aggression, regardless of the wishes of the Russian artists themselves. In other words, Russian culture has become another powerful Russian weapon in Ukraine and all over the world.

**All proceeds will be donated to the Ukrainian Emergency Art Fund**
