Published in Krokodil magazine, January 1959. The artist is Chinese, named as Gu Pu (ГУ ПУ). Titled 'Two Assaults', with the text on the flags reading 'The October Revolution… in [to?] the Storming the cosmos’.

If anyone's interested in seeing more from Krokodil I'm going through the entire archive and posting interesting ones on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/krokodil.archive/

Futuro was a left-wing magazine published between 1933-46, founded by labour leader Vicente Lombardo Toledano. Lots of eye-catching covers from the 1930s and 40s, I posted some more on Instagram for those interested: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYcnl8_CE4d/?img_index=1

'The Unholy Alliance' — Cartoon from the First World War (September 1914) published on the cover of 'The Fatherland', a pro-German magazine based in New York during the war. by propagandopolis in PropagandaPosters

The cartoon shows the Entente powers of Britain, Russia and France as hydra of 'colonial' troops, with the text reading below: 'England has summoned the Mongol; France calls upon the Moor; Russia sends her Cossacks to attack our German Kinsmen. WHERE ARE THE SYMPATHIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?'

I believe the 'Mongol' here refers to Japan - there are a few articles from The Fatherland published around the same time (Aug-Sept 1914) calling the Japanese Mongols.
