This object is shown as it was published. [Why](https://propagandaarchive.org/about/#as-it-was) [![Свинья, дрессированная в Париже (The Pig Trained in Paris)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/images/svinia-dressirovannaya-v-parizhe-deni-1920.png)](https://propagandaarchive.org/collection/images/svinia-dressirovannaya-v-parizhe-deni-1920.png) # Свинья, дрессированная в Париже (The Pig Trained in Paris) A pig in a Polish four-cornered cap, labelled 'Ясновельможная Польша' ('Most Illustrious Poland'), drools in the arms of a man in a kepi marked 'ФРАНЦИЯ' (France) who holds a scroll reading 'Borders of 1772'. The title calls Poland a pig trained in Paris. The animal label and the puppet-and-handler pairing present the opposing state as a dependent of France. ## Text on the object Original (Russian) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` Российская Социалистическая Федеративная Советская Республика.
