The first drawing showed a passenger's skull, with the caption: "The dangers of Russian low cost" flights.
The second showed the plane's debris falling on a bearded fighter, with the legend: "The Russian air force is intensifying its air strikes."

The Russians thought both were in poor taste and demanded an apology.
