As the poet eloquently put it, "the meanings of every war are hidden in every game." Within this artwork, we observe a scene where children engage in the timeless pastime of playing with toy soldiers.

These miniature figures portray soldiers from diverse epochs, including representatives from the Patriotic War of 1812. Notably, the tableau features Russian hussars and French dragoons, a testament to the historical confluence.
Upon the tabletop where the children's imaginative battle unfolds, one witnesses the equestrian figurine of Napoleon encountering Kutuzov, symbolizing the intersection of adversaries from different periods. Additionally, Soviet soldiers launched an offensive alongside American Indians and warriors from Africa's past, weaving together a tapestry of historical conflicts.
Yet, beneath this scene of youthful play lies a poignant undercurrent. Strewn beneath the table, an array of used gas masks emerges, serving as a symbol of wars yet to come, those of the future. In this multifaceted composition, the artist thoughtfully juxtaposes the innocence of children's games with the haunting specter of impending conflicts, underscoring the timeless interplay between war and play.
