About the Poster Whom We Beat (Russian: Кого мы били) is a 1939 Soviet propaganda poster by Nikolai Dolgorukov and Viktor Deni (Николай Долгоруков, Виктор Дени). The poster subject is based on the 1935 poem of the same name by Demyan Bedny (Демьян Бедный).  The poster shows a Red Army soldier standing strong in front of the backdrop of the Soviet Union. Speared to his bayonet are the names of prominent leaders of the White Russians that the Red Army defeated during the Russian Civil War. On the bottom right of the picture, military representatives of the axis powers, Germany, Italy, and Japan, rub their heads in confusion.   Bedny's poem, Whom We Beat, similarly gives descriptions of the White Russian leaders.
