Every step of communist party...


The message says " Every step of Communist Party of Soviet Union is tied with Marx..." Before the Russia revolution, the country was governed by absolute monarchy, which the people didn't have any freedom and equality. Later Karl Marx spreaded the idea of communism, which said that the people would be equal. Most of the people started to believe and support Marx. So this poster had influenced the people to think that the Communist Party was trying to do what Marx had said and wanted the people to follow everything that the government had said. The red color of this poster represent the communism. The mable background was there to make MARX to be standout. As for Karl Marx position, His eyes were like " looking" towards the future of the country. And of course the most effective part of the poster was Marx.

Conclusion:

Russia was in the difficult crisis or situation. The Russians wanted to have a better life. They wanted to have better jobs and they didn't want to be in poverty. They wanted money to support their families. These propaganda had influenced people to support communism, since if they did support the communism their needs would be provided. The communist party wanted people to have positive attitudes towards communism. I believed that the communist party wanted the people to support them so that their goals could be developed. But these propaganda posters provided some fake informations as well...
