Baku Commemorative Commemorativeart Committee Communist Headed Issued Leaflet Print


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print commemorates a little-known chapter of World War I history: the solidarity between the Russian Communist Party of Baku and British soldiers. The leaflet, issued by the Committee of the Russian Communist Party of Baku, bears the heading "Comrades British Soldiers!" and was likely distributed among the British military forces stationed in Baku, Azerbaijan, during the war. Baku, located on the western shores of the Caspian Sea, was a crucial strategic point during the war, as it controlled the oil fields that fueled the war effort for both the Allied and Central Powers. The city was also a melting pot of diverse ethnic and political groups, including a significant Russian population. The Russian Communist Party of Baku, which emerged in 1917, sought to unite the working class and promote revolutionary ideals. This leaflet, with its bold red and black design and its appeal to British soldiers to join the cause of the Russian Revolution, reflects the internationalism and solidarity that characterized the early days of the Communist movement. The image on the leaflet shows a group of British soldiers standing alongside a Russian worker, their arms linked in a show of unity. The caption reads, "Workers of all countries, unite!" This call to international solidarity was a powerful message during a time of global conflict and upheaval. This commemorative art print offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex and often overlooked history of the First World War, highlighting the unexpected alliances and solidarities that emerged in the midst of conflict. The print is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of collective action and the shared humanity that transcends political and national boundaries.
