Poster depicting three middle aged men crowding around a fourth who is seated in an armchair, holding up a newspaper. The headline reads 'Rashidov Mafia' and the accompanying text translates as 'The chairs of the discovered criminals are empty...But how many are still employed!'. The four men look worried, loosening their collars and holding their hands to their mouths in horror. On the table to the left is a lamp and a telephone.
