"A Lie Thrower (The TASS Window №625)" is a 1942 satirical political cartoon created by the Soviet artistic trio Kukryniksy. The image depicts a Nazi soldier using a machine gun-like device that fires rolls of propaganda, while another soldier is trying to stop the flow of lies. The cartoon, created during World War II, satirizes Nazi propaganda and its attempts to deceive the public. The title, "Brekhomet" which translates to "lie-thrower," underscores the image's central message. This is a powerful example of Soviet political art during the war.
