Most of the Russian posters during the Russo-Japanese War belonged to the lubok genre. The Japanese on these posters looked stupid and weak, a ridiculous adversary who could be dealt with more easily - no one expected Russia's defeat, of course.
In this selection, we offer you a selection of not luboks, but more or less serious posters.
Some of them are devoted to combat episodes, and a less serious part tells about the financial difficulties of Japan - the war turned out to be an unnecessarily expensive event for this Pacific power.
