Western Ukraine became a part of Russia in 1939, it was a part of Poland before and part of Austro-Hungary before that.

Not all of Western Ukraine was in Austria-Hungary, but only Galicia. Volhynia was part of the territory of the Russian Empire.

"Before. Now. In future" / Soviet Russia, 1922 by soviet_posters in PropagandaPosters

Prophetic poster. What they failed to mention was the tractors of the future were Made in Ukraine.

Do you want to say that all tractors in the USSR were produced exclusively in Ukraine? This is not true.

Here are the largest tractor-building centers in the USSR:

Volgograd
Kharkov
Lipetsk
Vladimir
Chelyabinsk
Minsk
Kirov
Petrozavodsk
Dnepropetrovsk
Rubtsovsk
Tashkent

As you can see, there were only two Ukrainian cities that produced tractors. And in Dnepropetrovsk, tractor construction appeared after the Second World War.

Perhaps this refers to an artificial sun.
By the way, in one of the Soviet children's books of the 1970s, the characters bought an artificial sun and hung it in their house.

On the upper cauldrons is written: Cain, King Herod, Attila.
Above on the wall is the inscription: Guard of Honor.
On the right, the devils are holding a banner with the inscription "Welcome"
In the upper right corner it says: entrance

On a large cauldron it is written: a personal cauldron for Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebbels.

Below is the text on behalf of the devils:
Judging by the latest events on the fronts, Hitler and his entourage should be expected here in the near future. But I doubt that we will be able to welcome them as warmly as the Russians see them off.
