I am a Bolshevik/ I am a Volonteer. Poster of the White Army during the Russian Civil War.

Read in the poster from left to right:

I am a Bolshevik

I am a Bolshevik because I left the front and sold Russia to the Germans.
I am a Bolshevik because I took the last cow from the peasants and gave the land to the committees of the poor, which are run by the most incompetent landowners, and ordered the rest of the peasants to listen to this poors.
I am a Bolshevik because I fired the engineers, stopped the factories, left tens of thousands of workers without jobs, and forced everyone to starve and go naked.
I am a Bolshevik because I have desecrated the churches of God and I do not allow anyone to pray.
I am a Bolshevik because I recognize only the Bolsheviks, and I kill all the others, including the Mensheviks, Socialist Revolutionaries, peasants, and officers.
I am a Bolshevik because, like a robber in the night, I need anarchy and arbitrariness.

I am a Volunteer

I am a Volunteer because I have given my youth and I am shedding my blood for the power and greatness of United and Indivisible Russia.
I am a Volunteer because I am giving land to all the peasants, the true workers, so that every peasant will be the full and eternal master of his own piece.
I am a Volunteer because I stand for the restoration of factories and plants, and I want to make sure that no one can offend a worker.
I am a Volunteer because I want everyone to have the freedom to believe in their own God and pray as they see fit.
I am a Volunteer because I do not execute the Red Army soldiers I am currently fighting, but instead take them prisoner.
I am a Volunteer because I need order, justice, and peaceful, honest work as much as a bird needs air.

At the very bottom of the poster:
Who are you, a Bolshevik or a Volunteer?
Come on, who's still honest — respond!

The beginning of Denikin's march on Moscow. Photo reproduction of the Armed Forces of the South of Russia. The Russian Civil War. 1919.

A poem written on a photograph:

Greetings, Mother dear! A pause now I take.
How lovely the autumn dawn’s gentle wake..
They call me a boy,
though my years are more than twenty

You know, Mother!
I long for Nastya’s face
My sister will soon wear a bridal embrace.
May God grant her health, happiness, and grace!
And may fortune smile on her every place.

Remember, Mom! Before his death
Father repeated: «Forget about peace!»
And now, in this evil whirlwind,
Everyone has chosen their own path.

Believe me, Mom! We will meet soon
I see this day clearly.
We will defeat the Bolshevik pack!
Denikin is leading us to Moscow.

(From a letter written by Alexey Trofimov, a soldier in the Volunteer Army, to his mother)
(As Denikin approached Moscow, he was stopped. October proved to be a fatal month for the general and the White Army. It also proved to be a fatal month for A. Trofimov, who died in early November near Mtsensk. The fate of his mother and sister was also tragic. In 1920, they were arrested and sent to a correctional camp, where they died from illness, starvation, and overwork.)

Shanghai Russian Regiment. In the first row, sitting from the left is Sergeant N.V. Kharin, and from the right are D.K. Krotov, E.M. Krasnousov, A.A. Vasilyev, Company Commander Colonel M.I. Marhinin, Rittmeister P.I. Gopanovich, and I.S. Lobanov.

The regiment was formed in 1927 from Russian emigrants (Cossacks of the Far Eastern Cossack Group of General F.L. Glebov) as a Russian detachment of 2 companies as part of the Shanghai Volunteer Corps, which guarded the European population of Shanghai. It was subordinate to the Municipal Council of the International Settlement of Shanghai, and its members had ranks in the British service. Two companies were on permanent duty, receiving salaries, while the 3rd company was a volunteer unit that was called up for training exercises. In 1932, it was expanded into a regiment (4 companies, including 1 volunteer company). In 1941, it was transformed into the Separate Russian Detachment of the Shanghai Municipal Police. It existed until the end of 1947.

- Let's see, let's see what's new in the newspaper today.
- Aha! "Foreign governments demand that the Bolsheviks finally stop their propaganda"
- "The Red Terror in the Soviet Russia is still going on"
- "European politicians believe that the evolution of Soviet regime is near"
- "An agreement on the fight against the Bolsheviks between the leaders of different emigrant movements has not yet been reached, but it will certainly take place in the near future"...
- Allow me! This is a newspaper from 1920.
- Oh, damn it! I didn't even notice!

"An emigrant, S. B., known as an ardent anti-Bolshevik and an implacable enemy of the Soviet government, came to our editorial office and told us: "I completely agree with the leaders of the Communist Party." "How?" Are you? Are you? – We were surprised. "Yes, I am! – G. B. replied, – judge for yourself...""

Stalin: Trotsky is a scoundrel and a demagogue!
S.B: Is it possible not to agree with Comrade Stalin?

Trotsky: Stalin is a scoundrel and a brute
S.B: Isn't Comrade Trotsky right?

Rykov: Zinoviev is a rascal and a coward!
S.B: Isn't that the truth Comrade Rykov is speaking?

Zinoviev: Rykov is a fraud and scallywag!
S.B: Isn't Comrade Zinoviev expressing what we all think?

Bukharin: Radek is a thief and a swindler!
S.B: Is there really anything to object to what Comrade Bukharin is saying?

Radek: Bukharin is a scoundrel and a liar!
S.B: And can’t we applaud Comrade Radek?

A small spoiler: everyone mentioned in the cartoon was eliminated by Stalin during the Great Purge (Trotsky was dealt with only in 1940).
