= Civil war time poster alluding to the prodrazvyorstka ("food apportionment"), the confiscation of grain surplus and other agricultural products at fixed prices, in order to feed the urban population and Red Army, as part of Lenin's policy of "war communism". The poster warns that reluctance to cooperate with the prodrazvyorstka will eventually result in being harassed and pilliged by the White Armies (ironically, a form of treatment likely to be inflicted by the bolsheviks themselves upon unwilling peasants).
