EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful Soviet poster from 1920, created by Alexander Apsit, captures the spirit of the alliance between the working class and peasants during a time of great change in Russia. The image depicts workers and peasants united in their fight against the oppressive lords and barons, symbolizing a revolution that aimed to eradicate social inequality. In the foreground, we see workers armed with hammers and sickles, representing both industrial laborers and agricultural peasants. They are shown actively wiping out the symbols of aristocracy - an anvil and a scythe - signifying their determination to overthrow the ruling class. Meanwhile, on the home front, other workers can be seen tilling the land with sledgehammers as they contribute to building a new society. The poster's slogan "Long live the alliance of working class and peasants!" further emphasizes this unity between two vital groups within Russian society. It reflects Bolshevik ideology which sought to empower these marginalized classes by giving them control over their own destiny. Alexander Apsit's artwork is not only visually striking but also serves as propaganda for promoting revolutionary ideals among ordinary people. This piece belongs to a broader movement known as agitprop (agitation-propaganda), which aimed at mobilizing support for socialist causes through art. Overall, this historic print encapsulates an important moment in Russian history when workers and peasants joined forces to challenge centuries-old hierarchies. It stands as a testament to their collective struggle for equality and justice during this tumultuous period of societal transformation
