Leonid Vladimirsky (21 September 1920 in Moscow, Russia - 18 April 2015 [1]) was a Russian illustrator who worked on fairy tales, including books by Alexander Pushkin ( Ruslan and Ludmila), [2] Aleksey Tolstoy (Golden Key, 1953), [2] and Alexander Volkov, [2] [3] as well as some folk tales. [4]
Vladimirsky graduated from Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography but decided to work as a book illustrator. [2] He found it easiest to create evil characters, which are easily derived from the everyday life. [4]
Books illustrated by Vladimirsky sold over 20 million copies. [3] His illustrations to Tolstoy and Volkov were so popular in the Soviet Union that they were commonly reproduced on common goods including bottles of soft drinks and postcards. [2]
