| This anti-Bolshevik propaganda poster, dated to the Russian Civil War (1919), shows Leon Trotsky (born Lev Davidovich Bronstein) as a devil. Elements of the imagery reveal anti-Semitism (a popular anti-communist tactic was to overplay the role of Jews in the Russian Bolshevik Revolution). Trotsky is being aided by Chinese soldiers, many of whom fought alongside the Bolsheviks (Reds) in the Russian Civil War. The White Army's message reads "Peace and Freedom in Sovdepiya." |
