EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful Russian poster from 1919 captures the essence of the Revolution of 1917 and its impact on workers. The image portrays a stark contrast between the old order, where the rich exploit the proletariat, and the new order that emerged after the revolution. On the left side of the print, we see a depiction of nineteenth-century Russia with wealthy individuals taking advantage of working-class citizens. However, on the right side, a transformative scene unfolds. The rich are expelled from power, symbolizing their loss of influence and control over society. In their place stands a united proletariat claiming ownership over their state. This visual representation highlights how communism aimed to create an egalitarian society by eliminating class divisions and empowering ordinary people. The poster serves as propaganda for promoting these revolutionary ideals to workers in post-revolutionary Russia. It emphasizes that under this new system, workers would enjoy numerous benefits previously denied to them by exploitative elites. Overall, this historic artwork encapsulates both hope and determination for a brighter future in which all members of society can thrive equally. It stands as a testament to how art was utilized during this period as a tool for political messaging and rallying support for radical societal change in early twentieth-century Russia.
