I. Kuptsova mentions The Cossack’s Daring when discussing the role of lubok posters in wartime Russian propaganda in her article Nash soldat - eto soldat udivitel’noi, pryamo-taki zheleznoi stoikosti [Our Soldier Is a Soldier of Amazing, Literally Ironclad, Perseverance], which appeared in Voyenno Istorichesky Zhurnal [Journal of Military History] (2004, no. 10, pp. 54-59).
