Citizens! Give us your weapons
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking lithograph created by Alexander Petrovich Apsit in 1918. This powerful artwork, measuring 107x71, can be found in the Russian State Library in Moscow. The image depicts a scene of great significance during a time of political turmoil. The poster showcases the artist's skillful use of color to convey the urgency and intensity of the message it carries. In this piece, Apsit aims to communicate with his fellow Russians about communism, economics, and solidarity. The central figure in the lithograph is an army soldier holding out his hand towards citizens who are willingly handing over their weapons. This act symbolizes patriotism and unity as individuals contribute to a collective cause for the greater good of their nation. Apsit strategically includes various types of weaponry such as pistols, sabres, bayonets, and guns to emphasize that all forms of armament should be surrendered. The star prominently displayed on the soldier's uniform represents communism while serving as a symbol of hope for a brighter future under this ideology. This print serves as both propaganda and communication tool during this period marked by political upheaval. It encourages citizens to donate their weapons voluntarily while promoting ideas rooted in communist principles. Overall, "Citizens! Give us your weapons" captures not only historical context but also reflects Apsit's artistic talent in conveying complex messages through visual imagery.
