# We Too Are Fighting For Our Future (Russian-language poster)

A young woman in a laboratory coat pours liquid between glassware, beside a Russian text signed 'Young Scientists of Britain' with an English translation. Testimonial: the pledge is voiced by a group of British scientists, 'We are pledged to smash the Fascist barbarians' is name-calling, and 'a better world for ourselves and our children' is a glittering generality; the same text states that the work includes deadlier bombs and guns and care for the wounded.

МЫ ТОЖЕ БОРЕМСЯ ЗА НАШЕ БУДУЩЕЕ

МЫ ПОМОГАЕМ ПРОИЗВОДИТЬ ЕЩЕ БОЛЕЕ СМЕРТОНОСНЫЕ БОМБЫ И ОРУДИЯ. МЫ ПОМОГАЕМ СПАСАТЬ ЖИЗНЬ И ВЫЛЕЧИВАТЬ РАНЕНЫХ. МЫ РАБОТАЕМ ДНЕМ И НОЧЬЮ ДЛЯ РАЗГРОМА ФАШИЗМА И ОСВОБОЖДЕНИЯ ЧЕЛОВЕЧЕСТВА.
ПОСЛЕ ВОЙНЫ МЫ БУДЕМ СОТРУДНИЧАТЬ С НАШИМИ ХРАБРЫМИ СОВЕТСКИМИ БРАТЬЯМИ И СЕСТРАМИ И ПОСТРОИМ ЛУЧШИЙ МИР ДЛЯ НАС И ДЛЯ НАШИХ ДЕТЕЙ.
МОЛОДЫЕ УЧЕНЫЕ ВЕЛИКОБРИТАНИИ
МЫ ОБЯЗУЕМСЯ РАЗГРОМИТЬ ФАШИСТСКИХ ВАРВАРОВ

TRANSLATION: We help make more deadly bombs and guns. We help save lives and give health to the wounded. We work night and day so that Fascism may be crushed and mankind freed.
And after the peace we will work with our brave brothers and sisters of the U.S.S.R. to make a better world for ourselves and our children.
Young Scientists of Britain.
WE ARE PLEDGED TO SMASH THE FASCIST BARBARIANS
