Political cartoons from Russo-Japanese war of 1904. Mostly Russian, because I find it easier to search Russian sources, and those aren't that concerned with anything Japanese. The Russian side alternates between Truth, Justice, and the Orthodox Way:        "Our women and their 'society ladies'". and           As well as their fancy Western allies:    Who are unwilling to lend the struggling Japanese further war funds:  (This one features a torturous pun along the line of "Attack on  The Japanese have a great deal of simple "our valiant soldiers graciously accept the cowardly surrender of the dishonorable foe" stuff:       There is, however, this (the first thing I posted in a political cartoon thread:  http://i.imgur.com/gXz1djw.jpgI'm sure these would be hilarious if I could read them:   International cartoons on the subject:  (Plucky little Srulik)

zoux posted:Cool post Seriously though, the personification you see in the first few cartoons - The Motherland - is the right one. Nowdays, she seems to be going the way of Columbia and being replaced by a bear. The bear remains nameless. I actually thought that Uncle Sam came about during WWI, what with the  posters.

Jesus gently caress. We exchanged 400 terrorists for a literal drug dealer.

I'm breaking up an intended civil war mega-post into more manageable sections. This one is titled Read a Book! Or rather, "Learn to read". Literacy was a huge part of the Soviet political program, for a variety of reasons.  "An illiterate man is blind as he walks the path of life"  This is nicely poetic: "From darkness to light, from battle to book, from sorrow to happiness".  "Long live the sun!"  This is one of the earliest Soviet memes that's still around in some form: "We are not slaves, slaves we are not / slaves are mute, we are neither slaves nor masters", followed by a syllable / rap battle breakdown.  "We bring liberty to the world". I'll confess I can't quite follow this one.    What a difference literacy makes.   Once you're done with your book, plant a forest. Then read a book in it.

Get ready for a massive image influx. The civil war: vs  (History IS written by the winners. You may have seen the second poster, but the first is all kinds of obscure, even though it's the exact same image) First of all, the most awesome St George Trotsky destroying the serpent of counter-revolution:  The response is naturally enough "We're the serpents? Oh no no, my Bolshevik friends, I believe you'll find that it's YOU who are the serpents:"  Furthermore, the people of Russia should be like like the great Bogatyrs of old and wipe this stain off the Empire  Oh yeah? Well our knight isn't even a Bogatyr, but a proper worker (I'm reasonably sure the white figure represents the Whites, while the foreign chap represents the interventionist forces)  Quaint but proud ethnic minorities, join our side!      (Really, the Samoyed's warranted extensive propaganda?)   Cossacks, join the Reds:  Cossack, you have only one way forward:    Meanwhile Makhno and co are like "screw you guys, we'll take on both sides and organize our own anarcho-communist society:

This is the enemy of the hour: despise him. (Once again, the civil war was such a huge clusterfuck with a mess of factions rather than a united enemy front) Denikin promises to whip and hang every worker, just like Jackson before him.    Only the Red army will give you bread / defeat Denkin  Wrangel is already nicknamed "the Black Baron", so you don't have to work hard to come up with the appropriate caricature direction.    Still, remember that every enemy is supported by the hated foreigners / capitalists / priests.   Err... ditto The Admiral, we guess.   Also, remember that the foreign powers work to destroy us:  They offer us peace, but give the Polacks guns  The Constituent Assembly is supported by the bloody foreigners  Joseph Jacque Joffre, the man with the Frenchest goddamn name until Jaques Chirac is apparently helping the Poles? His Wikipedia article mentions nothing of the sort, and that's about as much effort as I'm willing to put into research.  Meanwhile on the white side: "My Russian friends, hold on just a while longer against the Bolshevik scum while I strive to aid you"  So join the white army, for King and Country:   Or rather, join the Red Army, for a variety of good reasons:   "Learn to use the rifle as well as you use the scythe". Kind of shows where the whole Israeli peasant-soldier comes from (or maybe shares roots with)    The new Christmas, for some reason?   Only he who is willing to defend his freedom with a rifle deserves that freedom – so join the NRA… err… go defend the Polish front.  Out of the way, loving Polacks.  The deserters nightmare:  Defend Petrograd with your manly manly chests:    The (highly specific) wounded Red Army Soldier day:

A rebuttal from the White Side: Bolsheviks are German agents:  Trotsky and Lenin are Jewish Satan worshippers:    Moscow is almost free – "Let's escape to Siberia with our ill-gotten riches, comrade!" "Just try it!"     This is what life is like on the Red side:   It's actually the communists who exploit hard-working peasants by appointing fast-talking lazy drunks to rob them.   Communists blind the people and lead them to ruin   The Chinese (and Latvian) volunteers will kill the poo poo out of you    The Bolsheviks violate churches.  The Red side would like to counter that last point: "Cannibals aren't people who eat people – it's people who refuse to convert church gold into food for the hungry" (citation needed):  Goddamit you assholes, what was so hard to understand about the last poster? We need money to feed people, and the churches have it. Simple.  Look, here are some hungry people who could really use some church gold:  Also, this is what things are like on the White side:   "The Whites burn down fields and homes as they retreat from the Red army" Err… ditto the Polacks.  The provisional government executes peasants:  Denikin's "Liberators":

A reminder from the Red side on how the Tzars abused the people: loving priests and rich men are assholes:  "These are the people who oppose the Soviets"  Crying on the grave of the counter-revolution (half these names didn't even warrant a cartoon of their own)    The Polish pans abuse the peasants:   Comrade Lenin has a fix for the world religion / capitalism problem:   The peoples court:   The stock market was messed up when news of the revolution was received, and that's great, we guess?   Remember how bad things used to be? Much better now (reverse Asay, if you will):   The people's rule in ancient Russia:  The Tzar's armies and the red army:  So use that righteous fury for the past / hope for the future to strike the bastards down:    "The ship of counter-revolution sinks against the unbreakable banks of our overtly-labored metaphore"  "Electrification vs counter-revolution"   And work together for a better future:           Elect workers rather than rich exploiters into the Soviet councils:  The Soviet Turnip is invincible:  Female demonstrations make world capitalism tremble:   You may think the Social Revolutionaries have some fine ideas, but they're just stooges for the same old capitalist / imperialist scum  A counterpoint to the White depictions of Lenin. There are a LOT of "grandpa Lenin" cartoons out there that aren't that relevant.  The Internazional (no, this doesn't get a tiny image tag. Behold in all its glory):

OldMemes posted:The metaphor about the church being God (especially in the form of Jesus)'s bride is meant in a non-sexual manner. It's about waiting for Jesus to return as a bride would wait for her groom and to remain faithful (i.e., not worshiping other gods) - that they will be God's people. Representing god as a stern father or as Baby Jesus is meant to direct those familial feelings heavenwards. In the same vein, all that "bride of christ" "save yourself for Jesus" stuff is entirely about sublimating sexual feelings into religion. It's not literal temple prostitution, but it is absolutely about sex.

A beret looks good if you're allowed to wear it properly - as flattened as possible, with one side pulled down. If your military has a fetish for making its soldiers look as stupid as possible, you'll wear it "symmetrically", which is absolutely terrible.
