EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Deserter, You are as Much A destroyer of the Workers-Peasant State as I, a Capitalist!, 1920" is a powerful representation of the tumultuous period in Russian history. Created by Dmitri Stachievich in 1920, this colour lithograph found in the Collection of Russian State Library, Moscow showcases the artist's talent for conveying political messages through art. The image serves as an allegory for the anxieties and struggles faced during the Russian Civil War. It depicts a moor-like landscape with a peasant worker confronting a capitalist deserter. The artwork symbolizes how both deserters and capitalists were seen as destroyers of the newly formed Workers-Peasant State. During this time, Russia was embroiled in conflict between various factions including the Red Army and White Guard. The poster reflects themes of revolution, power dynamics, and class struggle that defined this era. Its use of vibrant colours draws attention to these issues while also evoking emotions from viewers. Stachievich's work falls under Soviet political agitation art and socialist realism genres which aimed to promote communist ideals among workers and peasants. This particular piece served as propaganda to rally support for national uprisings against foreign intervention during events like the Polish-Soviet War. As we admire this historical artifact preserved at Russian State Library today, it reminds us of Russia's complex past filled with revolutionary fervor and ideological conflicts that shaped its future trajectory.
