Warrior of the Red Army! 1942

This poster is titled “Warrior of the Red Army!” (1942) and was created by artist F. Antonov. It depicts a woman with her hands bound, standing defiantly despite her anguish, symbolizing those threatened by German soldiers during World War II. The slogan beneath the image reads: “Warrior of the Red Army! You will not give up your beloved to disgrace and ignominy to Hitler’s soldiers.” The composition uses strong contrasts and muted colors to heighten the emotional tension. Serving as wartime propaganda, the poster calls on Red Army soldiers to protect not only their homeland but also their loved ones and their honor.
