EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Worker! You have to master a weapon. Vsevobuch (Universal military training), 1919" is a powerful representation of the tumultuous period in Russian history during the aftermath of the October Revolution and the Russian Civil War. The image, found in the Collection of Russian State Library, Moscow, showcases an anonymous worker holding a rifle with determination and conviction. The vibrant colour lithograph highlights the significance of this artwork as a tool for political propaganda and recruitment for the Red Army. It served as an urgent call to arms, urging workers to take up arms and defend their newly established Soviet state against counter-revolutionary forces. The poster's message emphasizes universal military training or Vsevobuch as essential for every worker in order to protect their revolution from external threats. It reflects both the urgency and necessity felt by those involved in building a new society amidst chaos and conflict. This historic piece not only represents an important chapter in Russian history but also exemplifies how art can be used as a means of political agitation during times of war. Its presence serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary individuals who were willing to fight for their beliefs. As we observe this remarkable work, it prompts us to reflect on our own responsibilities towards defending what we hold dear while appreciating its artistic value within fine art images.
