Soviet propaganda poster from 1941 is one of many with a similar message from during WWII. The poster depicts a Red Army cavalryman charging down and vanquishing a Nazi soldier. That a man on horseback appears doesn't reflect the real state of affairs, which was that the Red Army was a mechanized force by the beginning of the war. Rather, the image is clearly meant to motivate and inspire. The poster artist is Alexander Polyansky (Russian: Александр Полянский).
