White Army Propaganda Flyer Addressed to Jews, July 1919.

Single page 8" x 11", front only. The flyer appeals to the Jewish population of the Ukrainian city of Ekaterinoslav (Dnepropetrovsk under the Soviet regime, currently Dnipro) to support Denikin's Voluntary Army by any means possible for restoration of the unified and free Russia from the Bolsheviks' hordes. Of interest is the succinct precise summary of the events from the February 1917 revolution which opened the gate to freedom and democracy in Russia to the October revolution which slammed that gate shut while usurping the same democratic slogans as a power grabbing tool. The flyer cites the 25 July 1919 order by General Irmanov, then commander of the 3rd Kuban Corps, in which he proclaimed equality of all ethnic and religious groups and decreed severe punishment for any persecution of Jews or any other ethnic minorities.

In excellent condition. The paper is very slightly winkled and shows barely noticeable wear to the edges and corners. The print is bright, fresh and perfectly legible.

Lt. Gen. Vladimir Irmanov (Владимир Александрович Ирманов, 1852 - 1931) was a renowned military leader, hero of the Russo-Japanese War and WW1. In 1918, at the age of 66, he joined the White Movement and Denikin's Volunteer Army. As Commander of the 3rd Kuban Cossack Corps, he participated in Denikin's offensive onto Moscow. In October 1919 his corps fought against Budyonny's 1st Cavalry Army in a major battle which Budyonny won. In November 1920, Irmanov left Russia and eventually settled down in Yugoslavia.

Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
