A lithograph propaganda poster encouraging support of the Red Army by an unknown artist, 1919. The poster features two figures: on the right a soldier in a cossack-style hat and coat, holding a rifle, and on the left a proletarian worker holding a scimitar. They are holding up a banner that reads 'Red Army', and includes the communist symbol of the hammer and sickle. The text below is translated to 'The Defence of the Proletarian Revolution'.
