You have more context on that picture? I sounds like anti communist satire, but then again they were extreme enough where I could see something like that being part of their manual... Kind of “truth is stranger than fiction”...

Book Title: Drawings from the gulag.
Book ISBN: ISBN: 978-0956356246
"In 1988, Baldaev finished recording his experiences, which are available in a compilation published by the U.K.-based Fuel Publishing and dedicated to the dissident Solzhenitsyn. Baldaev’s artistic style is realistically proportioned, with heavy lines and shadows that give it the feel of a contemporary graphic novel.

The book “Drawings from the Gulag” features over a hundred images, depicting executions, axe murders, cruel sexual torture, and other acts of extreme violence perpetrated by the communist regime. Baldaev provides captions that contextualize his drawings and add life to the victims and perpetrators. The brutality of the gulag is accompanied by the Stalinist slogans and propaganda that would have been a constant presence for inmates and camp administrators alike. "

See: Illustrating the Gulag.

Sadly, not satire. Real.
