"Soviet Political Agitation Art: Visualizing Ideology and Mobilizing the Masses" In the tumultuous years following the Russian Revolution, Soviet political agitation art emerged as a powerful tool to disseminate revolutionary ideals, rally support, and shape public opinion. Through bold imagery and striking messages, artists like El Lissitzky, Stepan Prokoptsev, and Dmitri Moor captured the essence of this transformative era. Lissitzky's iconic poster "Beat the Whites with the red wedge" (1920) symbolizes the Bolsheviks' determination to overcome counter-revolutionary forces. The red wedge piercing through white represents their unwavering resolve in establishing a socialist state. Prokoptsev's "Mayonnaise Sauce" (1938) takes a different approach by promoting self-sufficiency during times of scarcity. This culinary-themed artwork encourages people to make do with limited resources while highlighting collective efforts towards survival. Similarly emphasizing self-reliance is an advertising poster for pelmeni from 1936. It showcases traditional Russian dumplings as a symbol of national identity and economic progress under socialism. Moor's masterpiece "Capitalism devours everything" (1920) vividly depicts capitalism as a monstrous creature devouring workers' rights and exploiting natural resources. This image serves as a call-to-action against capitalist exploitation prevalent during that time. Zelensky's work titled "To have more, we must produce more. . " (1920) underscores education as an essential component for industrial growth. By advocating knowledge acquisition alongside increased production levels, Zelensky highlights how intellectual development can fuel societal progress. The advancement of technology also found its place in Soviet propaganda art. An illustration from "USSR Builds Socialism" (1933) celebrates Soviet Union's ambitious endeavor to construct dirigibles – showcasing technological achievements that would propel them into modernity. Amidst these grand visions, the importance of individual contributions was not forgotten.
