Propaganda is set of message concerning at influencing opinions or behavior of large numbers of people. During the Russian Revolution, propaganda posters seems to be the majority chosen type of commercial at that time. The reason is because at that time there were no more commercial and convincing media and posters anymore, in fact, propaganda posters could be the only choice. Propagandas are very magnificent due to the Russian Revolution, it helped people by judging on reasons, but not only physical engaging. Propagandas encourage the Soviets in a lot of more of ways to govern the revolution, this helped a lot during that time. Propaganda posters particularly apparently have their own unique messages on each poster, simultaneously, propaganda ideas were also taken by the Soviet as well as encouraging people to be involve in the wars.
This propaganda poster was trying to convince the people to turn against and revolt opposing the old government and revolt to make the food shortages and war to end, which could happen if people follow the thought of this poster. On the other hand, despite the will of Lenin's rise to power that he wanted; the message of this poster mainly is precisely having the purpose to strengthen Lenin's power and voices to make him the leader of Russia. Additionally, due to my concise and aspect, I would say that this propaganda poster reflects that the people may have many choices due to their own instincts at this case.
This propaganda poster was published in 1919, which was not long after the revolutions. This poster message is stating that in the future, the demands are that the classes including "Soldiers, Farmers, Workers" are going to be the new rulers. In this propaganda poster it has an emblem of hammer and a plough in the red star on the center top, it was soon replaced by a familiar hammer and sickle. "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" is its title, this was taken from the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. This poster is trying to get people to think not to underestimate middle class and the lower class people, because they can be unpredictable and beyond the higher class peoples' predictions. This poster conveys its message by emphasizing the picture and the notes that were posted on the poster. The effective part of this poster is that the poster apparently could catch a lot of people's attention and as well as the Soviets at that time for its sake of spreading this idea.
The last propaganda poster was about Lenin, Engels, and Marx. They were the three powerful leaders in the Russian history. These three former powerful leaders came together and contributed in a lot of stability of the country to Russia. Marx, Lenin, and Engels are trying to avoid war and they desire the state of peace more at this case, their main attempt was to end the Russian Revolution. This poster's message was to accumulate everyone and solve for a way to end the revolution, the poster conveys its message by elaborating the poster. The three powerful rulers were shown on the Russian flag, which means they are the leaders of the country at that time which was very affective. Furthermore, at the bottom was a group of happy and joyful people who were very willing to end the revolution. The effectiveness of this poster is due to the fact that this poster is trying to state that Russia is a more united country at that time, some of the evidences are that people are more helpful and can lend a hand to each other anytime.
In my conclusion, the use of propaganda posters is a very convenient way to represent ideas and its very coherent and effective as well. I would like to say that all of the three posters have different point of view about the war and the revolution. But overall, I think that there is always a solution to any specific incident or disaster, no matter how much does the obstacles costed for it. The study of the Russian history is showned by these three propaganda posters. In my opinion all of the posters are very effective and efficiently done.
