The tell: the accompanying text calls Stalin the 'bloody ruler of Moscow' and draws both leaders as comic figures. ## Text on the object Original (Slovak) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` 14. augusta Stalin rozkazuje Churchillovi zriadiť druhý front Churchill bol 14. augusta na návšteve v Moskve u Stalina. Svet vedel, že je to nie zdvorilostná návšteva, ale že Churchill bol pre rozkazy, ktoré mu dal krvavý vladár Moskvy. Tento rozkaz bol: zriadenie druhého frontu, aby sa boľševikom uľahčilo v kliešťach nemeckých a spojeneckých vojsk. Churchill 19. augusta splnil Stalinov rozkaz a nariadil veľké vylodenie niekoľkých divízií na francúzske pobrežie pri Dieppe. Nemecká armáda však dala Churchillovi rázne poučenie. Podrobné správy hovoria o výsledku a neúspechu tohto podniku. Ako sa tváril Stalin, keď mu Churchill 23. augusta oznamoval výsledok pokusu o druhý front, to najlepšie znázorňuje tento obraz (Stalin nariera). 19. augusta druhý front v skutočnosti 23. augusta Churchill oznamuje výsledok pri Dieppe ``` English translation (machine translation by Claude, not verified by a fluent reader) ``` 14 August Stalin orders Churchill to set up a second front On 14 August Churchill was on a visit to Moscow to see Stalin. The world knew that this was not a courtesy visit, but that Churchill was there for orders given to him by the bloody ruler of Moscow. This order was: set up a second front, to ease the Bolsheviks' position in the pincers of the German and allied armies. On 19 August Churchill carried out Stalin's order and ordered a large landing of several divisions on the French coast at Dieppe. The German army, however, gave Churchill a sharp lesson. Detailed reports speak of the result and failure of this undertaking. How Stalin looked when Churchill reported the result of the second-front attempt to him on 23 August is best shown by this picture (Stalin wails). 19 August the second front in reality 23 August Churchill reports the result at Dieppe ``` Read from the 500 px scan with the Commons description text as a cross-check; the last word of the paragraph in brackets is hard to read at this size and follows the Commons transcription as 'narieka'.
