Russia WW1 Propaganda Collection: Tsar Nicholas II and his subjects entered World War I with enthusiasm and patriotism, with the defence of Russia’s fellow Orthodox Slavs, the Serbs, as the main battle cry. In August 1914, the Russian army invaded Germany’s province of East Prussia and occupied a significant portion of Austrian-controlled Galicia in support of the Serbs and their allies the French and British. On March 3, 1917, a strike was organized on a factory in the capital Saint Petersburg; within a week nearly all the workers in the city were idle, and street fighting broke out. After revolution, the Socialist government made a separate peace with the German Empire.
