The lubok - a broadside or poster - played an important role in Russia's cultural history. Evolving as a medium for communication, the prints were adapted to express political propaganda. This book examines the use of such prints to stir patriotic fervor during times of war, from Napoleon's failed attempt to conquer Russia to Hitler's invasion.
