# Ты записался добровольцем? (Have You Volunteered?)

A Red Army soldier in uniform strides forward and points directly at the viewer beneath the words 'Have YOU volunteered?', with the Bolshevik slogan 'Proletarians of all countries, unite!' above. The uniformed figure's direct, accusing gaze puts the burden of proof on the viewer rather than on the state.

'Ты записался добровольцем?' reads as one sentence across the two largest lines ('Have you enlisted as a volunteer?'), rendered here on separate lines to match the poster's own layout. The small printer's imprint (bottom left) and a circular seal/stamp (bottom right) are too small and low-contrast in this scan to read confidently.
