The satirical propaganda poster "An Austrian was going to Radziwill ..." was created in the style of Russian Lubok (cheap popular print) by one of the members of the artistic association "Segodnyashnii Lubok" (Lubok Today) artist Kazimir Malevich. The author depicted a Russian "babu" (woman) in a red sundress, who raises an Austrian on a pitchfork. This depicts the local success of Russian troops in battles with the Austro-Hungarian army near the town of Radziwill (Rivne region, Ukraine). Below - a verse by Volodymyr Mayakovsky: "An Austrian was going to Radziwill / But got on a women's pitchfork".
