Russia had vast manpower resources available in the First World War and did not have to actively encourage recruitment.
However, with over a million men under arms, industrial production required female labour, and here a woman is shown in a skilled
profession. Official posters were used to promote public investment in government bonds to support the war production. The Russian army had
entered the war woefully short of equipment.
