EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Apsit, Alexander - rise and defend Petrograd!" transports us back to the tumultuous era of 20th-century Russia. The image showcases a powerful Soviet propaganda poster created by renowned artist Alexander Apsit during the height of the Russian Civil War in 1919. The poster, produced by the Moscow Literary-Publishing Department of the RVSR Political Administration, serves as a rallying cry for citizens to protect their beloved city of Petrograd (now St Petersburg) from external threats. Apsit's artistic prowess is evident in his skillful depiction of a determined soldier brandishing a rifle against a backdrop that exudes both strength and resilience. In this historical snapshot, we witness not only an exceptional piece of art but also glimpse into the political climate that engulfed Russia at that time. The poster symbolizes unity amidst conflict and highlights the importance placed on defending one's homeland. Preserved through time, this print captures an important chapter in Soviet history. It stands as a testament to both Apsit's talent as an artist and his contribution to shaping public opinion during this critical period. As we observe this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us of how visual imagery can be used as a potent tool for political messaging and propaganda within society.
