Lish v proletarskoy organizovannosti i solidarnosti / Gibel' Tsarya - Goloda [Only Proletarian Organization and Solidarity Can Defeat the King Hunger]. A famine-related poster by an anonymous artist. Ryazan, 1921, 94 x 62 cm.

The poster bears imprints of the regional Ryazan branches of the State Publishing Trust (GIZ) and of the Political Enlightenment Directorate (Politprosvet); the RVTs registration marking suggests that this may be a regional printing of a poster produced in Moscow. The title could be traced to the 1895 classic work of Russian Marxism, Tsar Golod, by Alexei Bach. Bach, a revolutionary of the People's Will school (and a world class biochemist), was, in turn, inspired by a line from a Nekrasov poem, Zheleznhaya Doroga [The Railway].
