Soviet Central Asia Posters

A few more propaganda posters.  This time from Soviet central Asia, so useful for true back of beyond games.

 

 

More Red Propaganda Posters

Here are some more Red Propaganda posters, starting with the ten commandments of the proletariat (1919).

The commandments:

1. Don’t let Kolchak, Denikin, Mannerheim strangle your power.

2. Take better care of your rifle.

3. Be on alert every minute.

4. Don't hurt the average peasant when you fight with your fist.

5. Don't let hunger strangle you.

6. Dispel the village darkness.

7. Be strong, take care of your party.

8. Don't trust your enemies.

9. Don’t let go of power from your hands.

10. Be strong as a rock in the final, decisive battle. 
    

DONETSK COAL MUST BE OURS!

No coal - Factories will stall

No coal - Trains will stop

Until Don is ours, hunger will be with us

VICTORY OVER DENIKIN'S GANGS IS A VICTORY OVER HUNGER 

 Some specific anti-Kolchak posters.

 

 

This last one is aimed at the rebelling sailors of the Kronstadt naval base. 

Soviet-Polish War Posters

These next propaganda posters are from the Soviet-Polish War in 1920.  First some the anti-soviet posters.

 

 

Now some posters appealing to the patriotism of the Polish people.

Last some anti-Polish posters from the Bolsheviks.  They are aimed at the nobles and their foreign backers rather than the Polish people.

Red Propaganda Posters

Next up are some Bolshevik posters.  I'm planning to try printing off some of these to add to terrain and my trains.

More to follow, the Russo Polish War ...
