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.
