Photoshopped to restore color. The Ukrainian text translates as:
Join the Red Cavalry!
The Red Cavalry has destroyed Mamontov, Shkuro, Denikin.
It is beating the Poles and Petlyura.
Now the need is to destroy what is left of Wrangel.
Workers and peasants, join the ranks of the Red Cavalry.

And after more Photoshop surgery, the cavalryman looks like this.
