Comic Book of the Mysterious City.
Kitezh is a legendary and mythical city beneath the waters of Lake Svetloyar in the Voskresensky District of the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast in central Russia. Reference to Kitezh appears for the first time in Kitezh Chronicle, an anonymous book from the late 18th century, believed to have originated among the Old Believers.
On March 8, 2022, the collection of comics
«Strong and Independent» went on sale.
Nine stories of outstanding women of Russia and the USSR are collected under one cover: the scientist Zinaida Ermolyeva, the social activist Natalia Stasova, the pilot Marina Popovich and other political, educational, and philosophical activists.
I have drawn three comics for this book. The story about Maria Kovrigina is the closest to me. She is the USSR People's Commissar of Health. It seems that at that time it was just as dangerous not to conform to party politics as it is in today's Russia. She managed to do a lot in her political career, her actions were ahead of time, she was very brave!
