In 1943-1945, the theme of a premonition of victory appeared in posters, the stingy color scheme of the works of the beginning of the war changed to multicolored ("Happy holiday on our street", 1943; "A different picture — a view of Moscow and a view of Berlin", 1944, etc.). 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. Zabrodina, his artistic talent is characterized by "inexhaustible fantasy and humor of plot constructions, the sharpness of the transfer of portrait similarity and the expressiveness of the graphic image."
