Wall Street financiers feature heavily in these works, even appearing responsible for the rise of Hitler. Jefimov moved to Moscow in 1922, after his brother offered his a job drawing political cartoons. His drawings, directed mainly against the West, gained him prominence, and his work started appearing in such titles as Izvestia, Krokodil and Ogoniok. In 1920-1921 Jefimov designed posters and brochures for Agitprop, then for the daily Pravda. In 1924 he published his first book, Political Cartoons, with a foreword by Trotsky. His brother was a famous journalist Mikhail Koltsov, who was arrested during the Great Purge and executed in 1940.
