What is the Red Army for?  The implicit answer the Chichagovas provide here is that it is filled with ever-vigilant soldiers.  The soldiers resemble those drawn by Soviet poster artists such as Dmitrii Moor during the Civil War.  Moor’s cartoons and posters, including 1920’s “I Am a Red Army Man” and the 1921 “The Red Guard Doesn’t Want Blood, But is Ready,” established the visual look of the quintessential Red Army soldier:  the peaked cap [budenovka], red star and insignia, and graycoat.  They also helped to establish one of the main roles of the Red Army soldier:  standing guard over the socialist experiment itself.
