EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Working woman in the struggle for socialism, struggle against religion" captures the essence of a pivotal era in Russian history. Created by Boris Grigoryevich Klinch (Petrushansky) in 1931, this piece is an exemplary representation of socialist realism and Soviet political agitation art. The image depicts a strong and determined working woman standing proudly before a symbol of religious authority - a church. With her clenched fist raised high, she embodies the spirit of resistance against religious influence during that time. The artist skillfully uses color lithography to enhance the visual impact, creating a powerful contrast between the vibrant red background and the monochromatic figure. This artwork reflects both historical context and ideological messaging prevalent during early 20th-century Russia. It serves as propaganda aimed at promoting socialist values while discouraging religious beliefs perceived as counterproductive to building a new society based on equality and collective progress. Preserved within the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this print stands as an important artifact from an era marked by intense political struggles. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought about societal transformation. As we observe this remarkable piece today, it reminds us of how art can be used as a tool for expressing political ideologies and shaping public opinion – leaving an indelible mark on history's canvas.
