FIG. 1.14 “Symbolic Map of Europe: War-Liberator 1914-1915” (Poster Collection, RU/SU 780, Hoover Institution Library & Archives).

From Shredding the Map: Imagined Geographies of Revolutionary Russia, 1914–1922 by Edith W. Clowes

  • As Figure 1.14 (“War-Liberator”) shows, Russia appears only as Tsar Nicholas II in a frozen landscape, poking his sword at Prussia, depicted as a bull charging toward France. Russia is first and foremost a person, the person of the tsar. Only secondarily is it a place and even then, only the European part of the Russia empire—including eastern Poland and what is now Belarus, the Baltic states, Finland, and Ukraine.
