Description: Polish-language propaganda poster from the Polish-Bolshevik war of 1919-1921. Nr inw. MN-Pl.2011, at the Museum of Independence, Warsaw. According to narrative by mgr Sylwia Szczotka entitled "Wizerunek Bolszewika" (An image of a Bolshevik) of the Museum, this overtly antisemitic limited-run print from the permanent exibit called "Polonia Restituta" was supposed to inspire fear among the Orthodox devotees (see steeples with three-barred Byzantine crosses) in the eastern regions of the newly forming Second Republic. Paradoxically, this Polish-language poster wasn't meant for the Polish Catholics.
