One of Denis's last works was the poster "The Red Army swept the evil spirits to the ground" (1945). Encyclopedias and critics of the late XX — early XXI century call Denis one of the founders of the Soviet political poster, who influenced subsequent generations of poster artists. According to the definition of the researcher of Denis Y. M.
