Several versions of this famous poster dating from the year of the Polish-Soviet War (published by the Western Front Commissariat) are known, although the strict chronology of these editions cannot be established. It is not even certain that the copy held at the State Library in Moscow is the first printed version. The poster shown is a 1950s edition.
