EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Take a rifle in hand! To the Polish front!, 1920" by Malyutin captures the essence of revolutionary fervor during a tumultuous period in Russian history. This powerful image, found in the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, showcases an iconic piece of agitprop art from 1917 to 1920. The color lithograph depicts a determined peasant holding a rifle, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the proletariat. Against a backdrop of anxiety and civil war, this poster served as propaganda for mobilizing support for the Red Army's intervention in Poland during the Polish-Soviet War. Created by Ivan Andreevich Malyutin and inspired by poet Vladimir Mayakovsky's words, this artwork exemplifies socialist realism with its emphasis on portraying workers as heroes fighting against oppressive forces. The image resonates with power and revolution as it calls upon individuals to join their comrades on the Polish front. This historic photograph not only reflects Russia's national uprising but also represents a significant chapter in world history. It serves as a reminder of how political posters played an instrumental role in shaping public opinion during times of conflict and social change. Preserved within this print is not just artistic excellence but also an invaluable glimpse into Russia's past – capturing both hope and struggle amidst turbulent times.
