Conclusion

All in all, these posters showed that communism were able to help people from bad life condition under the capitalism power, which own all properties and rationed people food. Additionally, under the reign of the Tsar, people were having bad living and working condition, all the supplies and money were going to war. People had to face with disease and famine, majority of people were starving to death. However, Lenin saw that it was a good opportunity for the Bolshevik to gain power. He saw though the conflicts between people and the Provisional Government. People wanted to own land and wanted the war that caused famine in Russia to be ended. And bingo! The Lenin came up with the slogan “peace land and bread,” which exactly what they really wanted. Do you think the people would say no? Of course not! Even though people didn’t understand the idea of communism, but who would ignore the people who offered them what they need the most. Nevertheless, propaganda also helped influence people to co-operate with communism. Perhaps, without propaganda the communism wouldn’t be able to overthrow the provisional government, because propaganda helped people to understand more about the idea of communism. Majority of people had no education but by the image in the poster, understanding the communism would be easy thing for them. More and more people who had harsh life under capitalism began to strike against them, which caused the Russian Revolution. In the same time The Bolshevik started to raise their power and finally overthrew the provisional government.

- The fat man represented the communists because they were rich and powerful. In addition, the man who was wearing a red shirt and the red flag is communists. (Red means communism.)
- These two pictures make for people to choose between, being under capitalist knee
or being over them.

a. The massage of the poster is to choose between being control by the capitalism or being on the side of communism.

b. This poster want people to think that the capitalist took everything from people. That why the artist created the capitalists to be fat

c. This poster conveyed that people should choose to support the communism instead of the capitalism who own all land, rationed people food, and continued the war.

d. This poster effected people because, majority of people decide to supported the communism.

These are my favorite poster. The common theme of these posters is fat capitalists and red, a color of the Bolsheviks. The first poster has two parts; the first part was when the fat capitalists controlled people. They made peasants to work hard and gave them only limited food. People were having a harsh life under the power of capitalism. Secondly, the second part is the showed the image of Russian revolution. People were helping the Bolsheviks overthrown the capitalists, because Bolsheviks had offered what they needed, which is "Peace Land and Bread."
The Second picture could be very effect to people, because it’s helped people to choose between being under the capitalists and being over them on the communists’ side. Moreover, the capitalist had been created to be fat, because they were powerful and they own everything. Thus, with the slogan "Peace land and bread," made The Bolshevik began to rise power easily.
“Lenin lived, Lenin lives, and Lenin will live!”
