"Unleashing Chaos: The Russian Civil War in Captivating Art and Photographs" Step into the tumultuous era of the Russian Civil War through a collection of powerful artworks and photographs that encapsulate the intensity, brutality, and ideological struggle that defined this historic conflict. In El Lissitzky's iconic poster, "Beat the Whites with the red wedge, " we witness a visual representation of Bolshevik determination as they pierce through their adversaries. This symbolizes their unwavering commitment to revolutionize Russia. Baron Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel, depicted in 1919 by an unknown artist, stands as a formidable figurehead for the White Army. His stern gaze reflects his resolve to restore order and counteract the growing influence of communism. "The dogs of the Entente, " portrayed by Deni (Denisov) in 1919, showcases General Denikin, Admiral Kolchak, and General Yudenich as puppets manipulated by foreign powers seeking to dismantle Soviet power. It highlights how external forces played a significant role in shaping this internal conflict. Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov's thought-provoking poster from 1920 titled "Entente under the mask of peace" exposes how international alliances masked ulterior motives behind seemingly peaceful intentions during negotiations. It serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. The chilling slogan "Death to capital - or death under the heel of capital. " reverberates through time. Created in 1919 during intense class struggles between Reds and Whites, it captures both sides' fervor for victory at any cost. Ivan Andreevich Malyutin's artwork from 1920 satirically portrays those who preferred ink over action when confronted with revolutionary change. It criticizes individuals who chose complacency rather than actively participating in reshaping society.
