this Soviet cartoon revels in the art of
caricature. Even the horses are snobby and vainglorious in a pre-Revolutionary
Tsarist world of ruling idiots and blindly submissive peons.
"Dummy-Town's" masses suffer the consequences: war, taxes, flogging
and aristocratic decadence (including a Folies Bergères-style dance of
scantily-clad, bayonet-wielding chorus girl "soldiers"). But progress
will not be stopped and the tyrants' day of reckoning duly comes. - Dennis
