    Softcover. Zustand: g+ to near fine. Second edition. Quarto. 53pp. Illustrated tan paper wrappers, with black and yellow lettering on the front cover. The book is unread, with pages uncut and un-opened. Issued by the state publishing house, this is the second edition of Russian revolutionary poet and author Demian Deny's (Yefim Alekseevich Pridvorov, 1883-1945) collection of satirical poetry. Images throughout by the author humorously depicts revolutionary and political topics with figures sometimes taking the form of fairytale animals. The b/w images here which often show dark, violent and adult topics, are juxtaposed with visual style that is often childlike and whimsical and/or symbolic. Most images are printed in woodblocks. Being a supporter of the Bolsheviks and the revolution, the topics of his ridicule and contempt here and in other works are the Tsarist regime, nobles, landowners, capitalists, the clergy and other members of the old order (hence the title), while supporting and allying with the perspective of the common people. This copy of the book has the ink stamp of Marcel Bekus (1888-1939), on the interior front cover. Bekus was a Russian anarchist revolutionary who took part in the Russian Revolution of 1905, and was subsequently imprisoned in Siberia. In the wake of the revolution in 1918, he was released from prison and moved to Paris. He later took part in the Spanish Civil war on the side of the Republicans, where he was killed in 1939. In 1985, years after his death, his library of publications and posters were uncovered by his grandson, and sold off. Text throughout in Russian. Wrappers with some age toning and light stains to the covers. Rubbing to spine. Natural age toning to pages throughout, but otherwise clean and unread. Wrappers in good+, interior in near fine condition overall. The first edition was issued in 1918, from a different publisher, with a different cover image and title page, but has a similar page count. Alternate transliteration of author's name: Demian Bednyi *Although the date on the covers of this edition is 1921, the title page states 1920.
