EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Russian postcard commemorating the monumental 1905 Revolution. The image depicts Tsar Nicholas II's throne being destroyed by the powerful weapon of a worker, symbolizing the uprising against capitalism and oppression. This illustration is inspired by Vladimir Mayakovsky's poem titled "Moscow burns" (1905), which vividly captures the spirit of revolution. The caption accompanying this thought-provoking artwork reminds us that there will come a time when actions speak louder than words, as bullets replace rhetoric. It foretells the inevitable collapse of capitalism's throne, emphasizing that it was the workers of Presnya who first struck its supporting leg during this historical event. Presnya, located in Moscow's Presnensky District, serves as an important backdrop for this postcard since it was at this site where a significant workers' uprising took place during 1905. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Vladimir Mayakovsky himself – a renowned Russian and Soviet poet and playwright who lived from July 1893 to April 1930. Transporting us back to the early 20th century, this photograph offers glimpses into Russia's turbulent political landscape. It touches upon themes such as communism, revolutionaries fighting for change, and politicians grappling with power dynamics within their government structures. With references to history, literature, and politics intertwined within its narrative threads, this print provides an intriguing window into Russia's past. Its artistic composition invites contemplation on societal transformation while honoring those who played pivotal roles in shaping it – like Mayakovsky himself and the brave workers of Presnya.
