'Peace, Bread and Land'
It all began in the October revolution in 1917. The Bolsheviks, led by Lenin began a Civil War within Russia. They violently opposed how the wealth of their country was being distributed, with sickening wealth in the richer areas and third world poverty in the poorer areas.
The red in the image depicts communism- 'the blood of the repressed'. One large person in the middle of the frame holding a hammer symbolises 'the people' as a collective strength. Because most were uneducated the Bolshevicks had to educate through visual communication.
