This satirical cartoon by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy depicts a personification of Italy, bound in chains and sinking into the sea. The cartoon is a commentary on the decline of Italian fascism following the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. The inscription "После Туниса..." translates to "After Tunis..." which alludes to the Battle of Tunisia in 1943, a major turning point in the North African campaign. The work exemplifies the use of political caricature as a form of propaganda and social commentary.
