EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative print captures the grim reality that awaited peasants and workers during a tumultuous period in Russian history. Created by an anonymous artist between 1918-1919, this image is a stark reminder of the consequences brought upon by deserters, self-seekers, and cowards. The chaotic backdrop of the Russian Revolution and subsequent civil war set the stage for this haunting depiction. The poster serves as both a piece of propaganda and a call to action for recruitment into the Red Army. Its purpose was to instill fear among potential deserters while rallying support for military service. The use of vibrant colors in this colour lithograph adds intensity to its message, demanding attention from all who lay eyes on it. It stands as an example of Soviet political agitation art, showcasing how visual mediums were employed to influence public opinion during times of conflict. Preserved within the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this artwork holds immense historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into Russia's turbulent past and sheds light on the struggles faced by ordinary people amidst revolution and war. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember those who endured these hardships while contemplating how propaganda can shape our perceptions during times of crisis.
