White movement, Russian revolution poster, Sacrifice to the International, 1918
A White Russian anti-Bolshevik propaganda poster produced during the Russian Civil War. In this image, a number of senior Bolsheviks - Uritzky, Sverdlov, Zinoviev, Lunacharsky, Lenin, Patrovsky, Trotsky, Kamenev, and Radek sacrifice an allegorical character representing Russia to a statue of Karl Marx. The figure of Alexander Kerensky can be seen behind these figures, looking on impotently. In the foreground are negative stereotypes of Red Army characters, a sailor, Jews, one of whom holds a bag of thirty pieces of silver, a reference to the Biblical figure of Judas Iscariot, and Asiatic soldiers with booty.
