EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a set of Christmas hand puppets from the 1920s, created by the talented artist Alexei Alexandrovich Radakov (1877-1942). These unique puppets are part of a private collection and offer a glimpse into the history of Soviet political agitation art. Radakov's work was known for its strong anti-religious propaganda, reflecting the atheistic ideology prevalent in Russia during that time. The colour lithography technique used to create these puppets adds depth and vibrancy to their design. These hand puppets served as powerful symbols in conveying socialist realism, an artistic style that aimed to promote communist ideals through visual representation. By depicting religious figures such as Santa Claus or angels, Radakov challenged traditional beliefs and sought to undermine the influence of religion on society. The inclusion of these Christmas hand puppets in his body of work demonstrates Radakov's commitment to using art as a means for political expression. This photograph serves as a reminder of this turbulent period in Russian history when politics heavily influenced all aspects of life, including fine art and graphic design.
