The Tsar, the Priest and the Rich Man
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that encapsulates the tumultuous period of Russia's history during the revolution and civil war. Created in 1919 by Alexander Petrovich Apsit, this fine art image captures the essence of Soviet political agitation art. The composition portrays three powerful figures who played significant roles in shaping Russian society at that time. The central figure represents the Tsar, symbolizing autocracy and oppression. Standing beside him is a priest, representing religious authority and its close ties to the monarchy. On their other side stands a rich man, epitomizing wealth inequality and capitalism. This colour lithograph serves as both an artistic expression and a tool for propaganda during this era of intense political upheaval. It reflects the revolutionary spirit of the Red Army, which fought against these oppressive forces to establish a new order. The poster also alludes to factions within Russia's divided society during this period – on one side were supporters of Bolshevism (Red Guard), while on the other were those loyal to traditional values (White Guard). This visual representation highlights how deeply entrenched these divisions were. Today, "The Tsar, the Priest and the Rich Man" remains an important historical artifact that offers insight into Russian history. Housed in a private collection, it serves as a reminder of past struggles for social justice and equality amidst political turmoil.
