Artillery Attack Troops is a 2002 by Olga Florenskaya, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Olga Florenskaya made a print called *Artillery Attack Troops* in 2002. It’s part of a wild fake museum project called *Russian Trophy*. The prints mock old Russian fears of nearby countries. Flags in the series hide real rivals behind silly names. One is the “North-Western Enemy.” Another’s the “Eastern Enemy.” It’s all made from junk and sharp humor. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The print depicts a side view of an artillery piece set against a dark blue background, accompanied by text in Russian and English above, below, and within the design. It is marked with numbering, initials, and the date in pencil at the bottom right, along with a blind-stamp from the Hand Print Workshop.

Olga Florenskaya’s prints from 2002 turn Cold War fears into bold, graphic shapes.
