Cruella's Secret Soviet

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A porcelain figurine of Cruella de Vil reimagined in formal Soviet attire—tuxedo, bow tie, high collar—gazes downward with theatrical composure. The cyrillic text below reads "Тайна Виллана" (The Villain's Secret), suggesting a lost 1960s Eastern Bloc puppet film or propaganda parody that never circulated beyond Moscow archives. Collectors of Cold War kitsch and Disney bootleg ephemera have long debated whether this was official merchandise, a satirical art object, or proof of a shelved co-production.
