Rosta posters were a highly popularized form of communication used by the Russian government between 1919 and 1921. The posters were used to communicate mass messages and propaganda during the Russian Civil War. Once the war came to an end, the Russian government turned to new forms of communication.[1]
Rosta posters were easily identifiable by their context and distinct style.
