These Civil War posters proclaim the benefits that the Soviet system will bring to Ukraine. They invite Ukrainians to welcome the Red Army, which was fighting a bewildering variety of opponents on their land, and excoriate Ukrainians forces at war against them. The posters even include a missive directed at the Ukrainian peasant, explaining the land and agricultural policies of the new regime; but the poster is, inexplicably, in Russian. The Bolsheviks would soon learn not to repeat such gaffes in national relations.
