Poster of the counter-revolutionary and anti-Semitic White Army showing their hatred of Jewish Communist leader Leon Trotsky. The U.S. backed White Army committed mass murder against Jews and Communists; they murdered 100,000 Jews in the Ukraine alone. White Russian (pro-Czarist) poster depicting the Red Bolshevik, Leon Trotsky (Jewish name Lev Davidovich Bronstein). Note the Christian cross broken in the upper left Chinese joined both the white and red side, here the white use them to show that there was little Russian support for the red side. So Reds were under control of Jews and Chinese. Wall is the wall of the Kremlin. Top: Миръ и свобода въ Совдеп i и / " Peace and Freedom in Sovdepiya " Left flag: Р.С.Ф.С.Р / R.S.F.S.R.
