In the 1960s, A. Turumbekov successfully made his mark in poster art, working extensively as a master of satirical magazine drawing. His political posters from 1969, "Freedom," "Voice of America," "Junta," and "American-style Freedom," were awarded a Silver Medal at the International Exhibition "Satire in the Struggle for Peace" (Moscow, Leningrad, Sofia, 1969). They are characterized by sharp satirical focus, expressiveness of grotesque means, and metaphor. The artist repeatedly succeeded in creating satirical posters that criticize the remaining negative aspects of everyday life—negligence of some workers, bureaucratism, philistinism, greed, speculation, etc. Turumbekov "with the skill of a true sniper 'takes aim' at all that is shameful, foolish, and vulgar that still exists in our lives, and with the merciless weapon of grotesque, he fights against it. His imagination, diving into the most mundane areas of life’s reality, helps to banish the remnants of the past into the realm of shadows."
