Anti-communist and anti-Semitic propaganda poster

An anti-communist propaganda poster with anti-Semitic undertones, originating from the period of World War II. It depicts Soviet soldiers conducting a parachute landing

in a burning city. The soldiers hold flamethrowers, which fuel the conflagration.

A figure wearing a Red Army military cap, with caricatured physical features, towers over the scene. Across the poster, there is a text: "Bandy bolszewickie zagrażają Tobie i Twemu mieniu/ DLATEGO O OSOBACH PODEJRZANYCH WINIENEŚ ZAWIADOMIĆ POLICJĘ" (Bolshevik gangs threaten you and your property/ THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD REPORT SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUALS TO THE POLICE). The motif was created during the Polish-Bolshevik War

and later reused by German propaganda during World War II.
