# Poster of the Volunteer Army: Restoration of a Mighty, United and Indivisible Russia (marching column, 1919)

A column of soldiers with a drummer and brass players marches down a town street under banners while townspeople, boys and a woman cheer and raise hats. The main banner promises a 'mighty, united and indivisible Russia' and a national assembly elected by universal suffrage; the slogans are broad goals with no programme, and the cheering crowd stands in for the public's consent.
