Russian Alphabet Colouring Book for all ages marks the first publication of the graphic works of Russian artist Amanita. His fantastical images form a unique world—they are like modern variations of illustrated manuscripts, packed full with elements of Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.

The book also works as an introduction to the Russian alphabet. Every drawing depicts a word beginning with each letter from the Cyrillic alphabet, also shown in English, giving a light-hearted guide as to how the letters look and sound.

The subjects of his illustrations are wide-ranging—from political leaders: Lenin, Gorbachev; to inanimate objects: Tupolev aircraft, Sputnik; via Tsars, cosmonauts and Constructivism. These classic Soviet themes are interwoven from one page to the next, all rendered in an abundance of detail.

His amazing and skilful images define a previously unimagined graphic landscape that takes the humble colouring book into a new dimension. This is a perfect gift book.

"Amanita's work is mesmerising, not only for his phenomenal craftsmanship with ink, but also for its wry political humour in the vast context of Soviet history." – Thomas Heatherwick
