Lithograph. A Soviet satirization of their adversaries following the revolution, the White Army General Pyotr Vrangel' and Polish Marshall Józef Piłsudski are pictured struggling to pull a cart loaded with the symbolic figures of the bourgeoisie, the landlords, the tsar, and the Western counterrevolutionary intervention (called the Entente). Meanwhile, the three defeated White Army leaders (Anton Denikin, Alexander Kolchak, and Nikolai Yudenich) lie impaled on the ground. The title translates to "Where a troikia went down, a pair won’t do." This text refers to a troika, a cart drawn by three horses, but the artist uses it mockingly as the three generals/horses have already fallen and the remaining two are not enough to keep things moving forward.
