Illustrated, and printed by Mikhail Magaril in the edition of 7 copies. Stencil, tempera... Special thanks to Mark Magaril for his help"--Colophon.
500 $aPrinted endpapers alternate portraits of Lenin with stylized green or red fir or pine trees. Cover collage melds silhouette of Lenin smoking with that of the rabbit from the rhyme. Illustrations in text incorporate airplanes, cigarette burns, a Russian peasant, Lenin's mausoleum and more silhouettes of Lenin, Stalin and the rabbit.
500 $a"The counting rhyme, a traditional Russian eeny meeny moe (still in use), concerns a rabbit spotted by a hunter. Shot dead, [the rabbit] is miraculously resurrected ... In artist's version the hunter is Lenin and he is transformed into Stalin at the end of the rhyme. In fact, the rabbit's immortality is conferred on Lenin the hunter and his successor Stalin. This is of course an allusion to mausoleum that conserved the remains of the "immortals" and also, like most of Magaril's work, a reflection of the pervasive contamination of every aspect of popular culture of childhood by communist iconography"--Artist's prospectus, laid in.
