Reverse description Full-colour depiction of Buratino, the wooden puppet protagonist of the Soviet animated adaptation of the tale, rendered in the distinctive style of the Soyuzmultfilm studio. Buratino is shown standing in the right foreground, wearing a red jacket, white shorts, and red shoes, and carrying a book under his arm. To his left appear two villainous characters — the Fox Alice and the Cat Basilio — set against an uncoloured silver-relief background of an Italian townscape with buildings and a distant tower. The Cyrillic legend ПРИКЛЮЧЕНИЯ БУРАТИНО arcs along the upper portion of the field, and the Soyuzmultfilm studio copyright mark appears in the lower left.
