The illustration "The Demon Served Time" is a contemporary interpretation of Mikhail Vrubel's painting "Demon Seated". The former hero is replaced by a typical gopnik with a cigarette in his mouth, set against a backdrop adorned with a carpet: once a symbol of luxury and prosperity for any Soviet family, now highlighting the gap between past ideals and the reality of modern life. This work alludes to the aftermath of war, societal changes, and the issues of moral decline and cultural degradation in contemporary.
