A worker in blue coveralls defends his wife and baby against imminent danger from an aggressive bear in the upper right corner. They nestle in the protective space defined by the man\u2019s curved arm, and he wields a sledgehammer in his right hand and a shield in his left. Traditional gender notions make his personal<\/i> duty clear. His patriotic <\/i>duty is clarified by the presence of the threatening bear and the political context in which the poster was printed. The red background serves a dual purpose. First, it is instantly recognizable as a component of the tricolor scheme, signifying the French flag and patriotism. Second, the red color appearing behind the bear references Bolshevism, and is further reinforced by the \u201cRed Army\u201d star on the bear\u2019s cap. This poster, printed in 1943 after the Germans\u2019 defeat at Stalingrad, serves both to vilify the Soviet Union and to promote the Service du travail obligatoire <\/i>(STO) [compulsory work service].<\/p>\n
