Description
English: White Army propaganda poster from the Russian Civil War era (1919), depicting a caricature Leon Trotsky (as a large demon like figure with bright red skin. The depiction attempts to appeal to antisemitism.) and Chinese soldiers (below, wearing braids and blue and gold uniforms).

There was a notable number of them in the Red Army. They are depicted executing a prisoner and shoveling bones.

Texts are in pre-reform Russian orthography.

"Peace and Freedom in Sovdepiya"
R.S.F.S.R.
"Workers' and Peasants' Government" (abbreviated)
"Decree ...(illegible)... Signed: Lev Trotsky"


The wall is supposed to be the Kremlin wall (Kutafya Tower, to be precise).

Notice also the Red Star (drawn as a pentagram) on Trotsky's neck.
