"Back and Forth (TASS Window № 897)" is a 1944 propaganda poster by the Soviet artist collective Kukryniksy. The poster depicts a satirical scene of Nazi soldiers marching towards Leningrad, their bodies decaying as they go, while a cannon manned by a Soviet soldier fires on them. The text in the poster reads, "Hitler goes to Leningrad, a hail of shells is raining down, but the fascist siege did not break Leningrad." This poster was part of a series of propaganda posters called "TASS Windows" designed to raise the morale of the Soviet people during World War II.
