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.
