The illustrations were created after the 1959 award-winning Soviet film adaptation of Sholokhov's short story by Kukryniksy, the most influential collective of propaganda artists of the USSR.

The book with the inscriptions was accompanied by a postcard (included here) with Aleksey Filippovich's autograph regards to Illés and his family. In addition: Mikhail Trifonovich Iovchuk's (1908-1990; Soviet philosopher and party official) invitation card to Sholokhov's 70th birthday, organized by Soviet institutes and universities; and four postcards, each with different photographs of Sholokhov (printed in 1975).
