Russian satirical artist lampoons Putin in Syrian-North Korean inspired mashup
Editor's note: This article's original title & body may have mislead readers into believing Budaev's piece was genuine and non-satirical
Russian satirical artist is Andrei Budaev released the following photoshopped image, titled The Peace Maker, in a digital book titled "Metamorphosis XXI Book VIII
", page 157. The piece, which depicts Putin as glorified strongman in a Soviet realist art style (example here) also gives him the added height of Russian Imperial Tsar Peter I ('The Great') and flanks him with various anti-Ukrainian or anti-Western figures, such as Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad. The image is based off a mural
by North Korean artists of late Syrian president Hafez al-Assad at the October War Panorama in Damascus, Syria; which in turn was inspired by the  Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum in Pyongyang, North Korea. Portrait of Hafez al-Assad, October War Panorama, Damascus, Syria Some of Budaev's other work humorously depicting Vladimir Putin: Budaev Putin Budaev Putin Budaev Putin
