Beautiful drawings. They have this quality where they look like the places are abou to fall over. (That’s not a jab towards Russia, it’s just the buildings look drawn like they might fall.)
It is weak and inexpressive schedule. The contrast of the pseudo-new and pseudo-old is very weak and cheap.

Awww, me too, Comrade!
Nice.
