To the grief of all the bourgeois we’ll fan a worldwide conflagration! — Soviet poster

Soviet poster published at the start of the Russian Civil War (1918) showing a massive worker towering over a scene of destruction, while a capitalist vainly tries to douse the “conflagration” with a watering can. The caption comes from ‘The Twelve’, a famous poem written by Aleksandr Blok in the wake of the October Revolution. This is a reproduction printed professionally on high-quality matte paper .
