This should be a bit more effective than a bearded dude with a top hat...

Not that one. "Bearded dude" (assuming you're talking about this ) was done in 1920, urging people to volunteer to Red Army. The poster StuG was talking about is Motherland is calling , was done in late June, 1941, right after Nazi invasion.
Edit: lol, sorry, misread "top hat", I guess you were talking about "I want you" U.S. poster.

Should this be tagged parody then, since it's mimicking that poster?

You know, I have seen that photo of the propaganda poster many times, but I just noticed the sheet of paper she is holding has legible words on it. Is it supposed to be some kind of recruitment form?

"Pravda" is calling!!
Most likely a reference to the famous Soviet poster from the Second World War reading "Родина-мать зовёт!" (Loose translation from Russian: "The motherland is calling!")
