Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop douceur brought

00:05

to you by a red monster which we advise you

00:08

to never call elmo his face Take a look at

00:10

this poster and it's translated text right here my russian

00:14

friends All right And now the question This poster was

00:16

most likely produced during which war All right well let's

00:22

start with a because at first glance it looks like

00:24

it might be our guy While the guy in the

00:26

robes with sword might look like a samurai we need

00:29

to remember the text Nowhere does the passage mention japan

00:33

is because the guy in the poster looks vaguely japanese

00:35

from behind doesn't mean a czar answered almost been told

00:39

he looks friendly from behind but yeah we wouldn't cross

00:41

it And speaking of red monsters the poster doesn't explain

00:44

that a bit so we're gonna have to dispose of

00:47

a honorably of course being d don't really add up

00:50

either Nothing about this poster reflects the central powers of

00:52

world war one You generally expect to see some form

00:56

of nazi imagery of d were the answer we were

00:58

looking for Red monsters You are not nazi germany that

01:02

leaves us with the correct answer Is c the key

01:04

all along has been the red monster Communists have always

01:08

had an uncanny fondness for the color So it's safe

01:11

to assume this poster is describing the russian civil war

01:14

which involved a lenin led communist bullshit Next time you

01:18

hear about a red monster you'll think more lenin less 00:01:22.225 --> [endTime] hell no
