Have I ever shown you guys these weird late 80s Soviet Lord Of The Rings illustrations?

They were made by Sergei Iukhimov, who’s virtually unknown otherwise.

This edition was released in 91-92, right after the fall of the USSR and likely drawn in the few years preceding it. Ilya Iukhimov is still alive and even has an Instagram, but trying to scour for details is not very easy.
