Moscow, November 19 (Xinhua) — The exhibition "Cartoons. Comics. Humor of the Führer's Personal Enemy," dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials and the 125th anniversary of the birth of People's Artist of the USSR Boris Efimov, opened on Tuesday at the Zurab Tsereteli Art Gallery.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Izvestia newspaper editor-in-chief Sergei Koroteev noted that the exhibition commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trials, where B. Efimov served as the publication's accredited representative and from where he submitted his drawings.
"We address not only history but also the present day. The theme of the fight against fascism is probably as relevant today as it was 80 years ago. And when you look at Efimov's cartoons, you're struck by how relevant they are today, and how they resonate with current themes," emphasized S. Koroteev.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that most of B. Efimov's works are answers to today's questions.
“What a great blessing that we have a record of those times 85 years ago, both from the perspective of dry documents and documentary film and photography, and through the lens of an artist who emphasized the poignancy of the moment,” she noted.
The exhibition includes works by B. Efimov from the 1930s and 1940s, dedicated to the fight against fascism. The artist worked at Izvestia for approximately 85 years and was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest cartoonist.
Visitors will be presented with approximately 100 original drawings, photographs, posters, and archival materials from the editorial staff. Some exhibits are being shown for the first time, including B. Efimov's unique album "Hitler and His Gang," drawings from which Joseph Stalin presented to Winston Churchill.
The exhibition is housed in three halls of a historic 18th-century mansion on Prechistenka Street in Moscow and is open to the public from November 19 to December 14. –0–
