An early and
RARE
Russian anti-Fascism poster,
that has faceless Russian troops marching
against a swastika covering the American flag,
the Japanese flag and the Italian Fasces. Printed
almost a decade before the outbreak of World
War II, the geo-political implications of this
image are eerily prescient.
