The cartoon depicts Russian President Vladimir Putin standing with a running chainsaw that drips blood. He is positioned directly above the word BUCHA rendered in large red letters resembling blood. The image was published days after reports emerged of civilian killings in the Ukrainian town of Bucha. It visually connects the Russian leader to the documented atrocities. The work uses stark colors and a horror-film reference to underscore the violence reported in the area.

A political cartoon published April 6, 2022, shows Russian President Vladimir Putin operating a large pipe labeled war crimes that pours skulls onto the ground. The image responds to reports of atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine, discovered after Russian forces withdrew in late March. The pipe structure dominates the frame with the title Russia's New Export above it. The cartoon uses the visual metaphor of an industrial export to represent documented killings and abuses. It appeared as international attention focused on evidence from the Kyiv suburb.
