Abstract

Fought among Russia and the Ottoman Empire, France and England, the Crimean War of 1853-56 resulted in the defeat of Russia. Even though Russia had some successes against the Ottoman Empire in the Eastern front, it couldn’t hold it against France in the Crimea and was defeated by English naval power. Despite this fact, lubki books and pictures published during the war depicted Russia as victorious. Examining some examples of lubki pictures and books, this article aims to analyze Russian war propaganda during the Crimean War.
