According to RIA Novosti, the poster, pasted over with a film, depicts an attacker on another person in yellow and blue clothes.
The picture is accompanied by a short text on behalf of the "rave guerrillas" with threats.
It is noteworthy that the banner was placed near the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN.
The local police said they received no complaints about the incident.
The Russian consulate said they had not seen such posters, and anti-Russian pickets take place on a regular basis.
Earlier, as reported by USA Today, the mayor of New York called Russia the main threat.
The Russian Embassy in the United States demanded an end to the persecution of Russians in the United States.
