Lot Passed

Na bor'bu za toplivo - na bor'bu za revolyutsiyu [On, to Battle for Fuel, to Battle for Revolution], a poster by an anonymous artist. Published by GIZ, Moscow, 1920. 70 x 53.5 cm.

This poster was produced in early 1920, when the Republic had lost control of major coal and oil producing regions. It calls for an all-out logging effort as the only available alternative - "Comrade, be strong, do not give up! Fight the monster (of the counter-revolution) in the rear, just like our Red Army brothers fight it on the front! ... The woods of the Republic are in our hands! ... Everybody, take part in the logging campaign!"

Search extension words / key tags: Russian poster, Soviet propaganda.
