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.
