Olga Florenskaya is an artist. 16 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Olga Florenskaya’s prints from 2002 turn Cold War fears into bold, graphic shapes. Her five “Enemy” series—Southern, Eastern, Special Chemical Air Troops, Internal No. 2, and South-Eastern—flatten soldiers and gear into flat colors and sharp angles that feel like warnings on a poster. The prints borrow the bold lines of Soviet propaganda art but swap heroes for hazards. See how the chemical troops fill the page like a threat you can’t look away from. Tap Internal Enemy No. 2 to zoom in on the red mask floating over a city outline.
