My Conclusions

After i seen all the posters, if i had been born at that time, i might've been impressed with the way the Soviet people are trying to support their leaders. It seems that Russia is really serious with how they are ruled and how they are going towards the future partially because they don't want history to repeat itself (the Tsar incident). It shows that Russia is not a country to be afraid of showing its support and how they think. I think the Russian people are a very powerful group of people and if anything good comes along, they will take it to survive....who wouldn't if at that time, it was a matter of life or death?
The use of Propaganda was also useful, it convey messages correctly and made people change the way they think because that is what propaganda is. After i seen the posters, i think propaganda is a force to be reckon with and that it is very powerful, and the example of it can be seen currently today, in advertising and marketing. So overall, Propanganda is a powerful way of changing the way people think, do, or see.

Stalin's promise

Stalin is featured in this poster. Similar to the Lenin posters, the Stalin poster represent his cunning, strength, and integrity. The message that the poster is trying to send is that Stalin will do a good job, will unite the country, and keep peace at all times. The poster obviously wanted people to believe and have good faith in Stalin, as well as showing and promising that Stalin will make the country better. The poster conveys its message by showing Russian people gathering all around (possibly united), showing red colors are a official symbol for the Soviet Union and for the strength of Stalin, and showing a text that says "Stalin will make peace for this country". This poster is partly effective because it makes people interested in what Stalin can do for his country but then after a series of nasty incidents like sending people to Gulags, it didn't convinced people anymore. But nevertheless, it was a good poster, convincing people to join the cause and to unite together, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin.

Let's Keep up the Technology progress

This is a picture showing a man doing farming. But the writings says Technology. This poster meant to say that the Soviet Union's technology is not working and that they have to keep up the pace of technology. This picture was probably proposed when Joseph Stalin made his speech that the Soviet Union will lose to the West if their techonology weren't up to the This poster urges the people of the Soviet Union to keep up and to improve the techonlogy or there will be no further improvements and there will be consequences for everybody. The image conveyed its meanings secretly, but the text says it all. This poster was effective because it made the Soviet Union greatly active in making their technology better, and advanced far better than other countries, even if the other countries got a head start. It also made the economy of the Soviet Union very good so this poster was a stepping stone for the improvements so overall, i have to say that this poster is a powerful one.

The Future belongs to Communism

This is another poster that supports Lenin. It also supports the idea of Communism, because the writings on it says "The future belongs to Communism". This poster obviously wanted people to support Communism, as well as support Lenin because he imposed the idea on Russia. It also wanted people to think that Communism is a way to continue the lives of people today because it is the only idea that can help them right this moment. Once again , the poster used red colors to symbolize strength, because it wanted to say that Lenin and Communism represents Strength. The poster was particulary effective because it made almost everybody in the Soviet Union think along with Lenin and they embraced Communism as their political structure, for the future.

Worker's commitment

This poster shows a Barley stalk, a sickle, and a hammer lying side by side. The message of the poster says that the Soviet Union is depending on the workers. In reality, it makes people think that workers are all responsible for the creation of a great nation so it makes people think that its okay to pressure the workers. Truthfully, the conditions for workers didn't improve at all since the Tsar's (Nicolas the II) rule. In the period of Stalin's rule, he made sure that the workers follow the collectivization plan. The image conveys its message by the picture and the background, showing that the working is shaping the unseen future. The poster is effective because it leads to people believing and urging the workers to work hard. It also makes the worker commited to work for their country

Joseph Stalin in good light

Here's a picture of Jospeh Stalin. The picture shows somebody holding a picture of Stalin and a flower in his/her hands. The message of the poster is that it shows Stalin in a great status, and shows that people right now are respecting him and the poster wants people to respect Stalin too. No doubt the poster was made by Stalin's supporters, because at that time people did respected him but distrusted him too. I think this poster also wanted people to support Stalin more. The poster convey its message by showing Stalin in a good light and it may make people feel heart warming about this heart rendering picture (well maybe not everyone).

A Poster of Lenin

This is a poster of Lenin, he is seen in a star and a message is etched in the star. I think the message tells us that Lenin is a great leader and that we should vote for him if Russian was to stay a strong country. This poster might tell the people of Russia to vote for Lenin, follow his ideas, or be part of Lenin's group. It conveys its message by showing that Lenin is powerful (notice the red color, it symbolizes strength). This poster is effective because it shows Lenin in a glory like state and the star says it all (that he will acheive glory beyond).

Russian Propaganda

(a example of a propaganda poster)
The Russian Revolution was a tragic incident prompting Russian to change its political structure. From a long standing Absolute Monarchy type of ruling, it became a long standing Communist government in no time. At that time, during 1917 to the death of Joseph Stalin, their Communist leader, the Russian had been divided into sides. The use of Propaganda started. A propaganda is a use of using a set of images aimed at influencing the thinking of a individual or a group of large number of people. It also influence opinions and behaviours of people.
Most of the time, propangandas are always true but sometimes the images are often exaggerated for personal benefit. Propagandas are also used for marketing and advertising but the propaganda type i'm talking about isn't for marketing. During this time period (1917 to the death of Stalin), the Russians began using propaganda to support political leaders and such. It was a method to gain popularity and trust from people and many political people used it for their own benefit. People like Lenin and Stalin used it to make themselves stand out. Seeing propagation posters can help us see how people from the past used it to make themselves rise to the top and we can see how people can believe. So now, let's see the propaganda posters.
