For a United Russia

This White Army propaganda poster titled “For a United Russia” depicts a Russian knight on horseback slaying a red dragon, symbolizing the defeat of Bolshevism. The radiant sunrise in the background represents the rebirth of Russia, while the Kremlin beneath the dragon’s coils evokes the nation’s spiritual and political heart under threat. The heroic rider embodies patriotic and religious resistance to the chaos of revolution. The poster’s dramatic use of color and motion captures the struggle between good and evil, faith and destruction, unity and division.

Translated from the text at the bottom of the poster:

With tight serpent coils, Bolshevism has gripped the heart of Russia.
It seemed that no force could tear it apart.
But now, in the rays of the rising sun, a horseman appears – one who has voluntarily taken upon himself the feat of saving Russia.
Powerfully raised, his hand swings, and in the boundless growth of his strength the serpent feels that this firm hand will strike and will not spare it from the coming blow.
