---

This print showing Russian soldiers charging up a hill is from the collection of World War I lubok posters held at the British Library. The caption explains: "On the left bank of the Vistula River, during the night of December 29 and the next day, the Germans attempted to attack separate areas of our forces, which they had also attempted to attack during the previous few days. However, all of these attempts were repelled by our valiant Siberian heroes who used not only rifle and artillery fire, but even more frequently, the bayonet, which the Germans cannot stand. They flee, leaving their positions, the artillery, other military supplies, and provisions."
