Very rare issue of Drosha with the caricature reflecting the Nazis coming to power in Germany. The wrapper design by Deni (anti-nazi image). Viktor Deni (1893-1946) was the main caricaturist of Stalin's Russia and one of the creators of the Agitprop style. He created posters and caricatures ridiculing the West while celebrating everything Soviet as well as Anti-Nazi caricatures.
The magazine was the supplement for The Communist magazine during 1923-1926. The editor in chief was Mikhail Kakhiani (1896-1937), the first secretary for Party Committee in Georgia. He was executed in 1937.

Text in Georgian.
