"Red Guard: Defenders of Revolution and Champions of Change" In the tumultuous era of political upheaval, the Red Guard emerged as a powerful force, determined to shape a new world order. With their iconic red wedge symbolizing unity and strength, they set out to beat back the forces of oppression. One such emblematic poster from 1920 by El Lissitzky depicts this fierce determination. "Beat the Whites with the red wedge" it proclaims, showcasing the unwavering resolve to overcome counter-revolutionary forces that threatened progress. Fast forward to 1973 in China, where Mao Tse-tung greeted the Red Guards in Tiananmen Square. The poster capturing this momentous occasion titled "March Forward to Achieve Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution" reflects Mao's vision for an egalitarian society driven by youthful enthusiasm. The Red Guard's adversaries were not spared from artistic scrutiny either. A striking portrayal by Denisov exposes Denikin, Kolchak, and Yudenich as "the dogs of Entente. " This depiction highlights their allegiance with foreign powers seeking to undermine revolutionary ideals. Similarly denouncing external interference is Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov's artwork titled "Entente under the mask of peace. " It reveals how capitalist nations disguised their true intentions behind deceptive facades while attempting to stifle progress. The battle cry against capitalism echoes through time in another powerful poster from 1919: "Death to capital - or death under its heel. " The stark message encapsulates the urgency felt by those fighting for a fairer society free from exploitation. Yet amidst these struggles, there were those who preferred idle pursuits over revolutionary action. Ivan Andreevich Malyutin's artwork humorously mocks these individuals who would rather tinker with ink than engage in meaningful change. However, not all dissenters escaped unscathed; some faced Revolutionary Tribunals as depicted in Histoire des Soviets.
