Russian Civil War Propaganda

WRANGEL IS COMING!!!

War propaganda poster calling peasants to arms to fight the impending attack from Wrangel.

WRANGEL IS COMING!!!
Different poster conveying the same message as above.

WHITE POLAND AND SOVIET RUSSIA

Maps and other images showing the divisions of who is on what side and where their territory lies.

THE SMOKE OF CHIMNEYS IS THE BREATH OF SOVIET RUSSIA

ONLY THE CLOSE UNION OF WORKERS AND PEASANTS WILL SAVE RUSSIA

MILLIONS OF STARVING PEASANTS ANS WORKERS NEED YOUR HELP

JOIN THE RED CAVALRY

POLAND: THE LAST DOG OF THE ENTENTE

The Reds are claiming victory over most of the Entente here, stating that Poland is the last one to go. Most likely in reference to the stalemate that resulted in the signing of the Treaty of Riga in October 1920

HAIL TO THE UNIVERSAL RED OCTOBER

October very important to the Bolsheviks and used well as a tool of propaganda. A lot of important events in the progress of the revolution took place in the Octobers of many years.

GLORIOUS RED ARMY

LABOUR IS BREAD: THOSE WHO DON'T WORK DON'T EAT

THE ENTENTE LAUGHING AT HUNGER

The Reds show the international powers as not caring that the people of Russia are starving, painting them in a negative light and making the Reds look positive by comparison.

Notes for Thursday September 2

Hi guys,

Here are the notes as promised:

Civil War Powerpoint

The Oath of the Red Warrior

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk info

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk extract

Please note that the only extracts of the Treaty of Riga that I could find were in Polish. If you want to look them up and translate for yourself feel free, but all you really need to know is that the treaty ended the stalemate between the Red Army and the Polish in October of 1920.

I have also put copies of the propaganda from the slideshows in the pictures section of the blog so you can look at them in a larger format if you wish.
