Die Gefahr des Bolschewismus
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Danger of Bolshevism) is a powerful and chilling poster from the year 1919, which graphically depicts the perceived threat of Bolshevism to European society. The image features a skeleton, shrouded in a black cloak, wielding a bloody knife in its teeth. The skeleton, a symbol of death and decay, represents the ominous presence of Bolshevism, which was often portrayed as a destructive and menacing force. In the background of the poster, a hill of crosses rises up, symbolizing the countless lives lost and the moral values that were believed to be under attack. Atop the hill stands a gallows, a stark reminder of the potential consequences of embracing Bolshevism. The use of the gallows also alludes to the fear of revolution and the perceived need for harsh measures to quell the perceived threat. The poster was created during a time of great political and social upheaval in Europe, following the end of World War I and the Russian Revolution. The spread of Bolshevism, and the fear of its influence spreading beyond Russia, was a major concern for many European governments and societies. The poster reflects the intense anxiety and fear that gripped Europe during this period, and the desperate efforts to rally support against the perceived threat. Despite the graphic and alarmist nature of the image, it is an important historical artifact that provides insight into the political and social climate of the time. It serves as a reminder of the power of propaganda and the ways in which fear and anxiety can be used to shape public opinion and mobilize support for political causes.
