EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vibrant and powerful colour lithograph, created in 1920 by Dmitri Stachievich, captures the essence of political agitation and propaganda during a pivotal time in Russian history. Found in the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this artwork embodies both artistic expression and socialist realism. The image depicts a grand manifestation on May Day, also known as International Workers' Day. A sea of workers from different nations come together under a bright blue sky to celebrate their shared struggle for labor rights and equality. The central figure, an imposing moor representing solidarity among workers worldwide, stands tall amidst banners emblazoned with slogans advocating for socialism. Stachievich's poster exemplifies his mastery in graphic design by effectively conveying its message through bold colors and dynamic composition. Its purpose was clear: to inspire and unite workers towards achieving social justice within Soviet Russia. This print serves as a testament to the power of art as a tool for political mobilization during times of great change. As we reflect upon this historic piece today, it reminds us not only of our collective past but also encourages us to strive for continued international unity amongst all working people around the world – regardless of nationality or background.
