“Have You Joined The Volunteers?”
This is a poster straight out of the Russian revolution. It is a message that urges people to join the volunteers. The menacing character on this power doesn’t look to be making a suggestion as much as an order. That’s no friendly Uncle Sam! This poster was regularly seen during the Russian revolution. The “volunteer army” in South Russia became the most prominent and the largest of the various and disparate White forces in the country. These men were typically lawless and disordered, although they had propaganda down to an art form in the 1900s. It was definitely a scary and uncertain time in Russia.
