How Did Lenin Use Propaganda During The Russian Revolution

Source A is a propaganda and was created by Norma Lindsay for the Commonwealth Government of Australia in 1918. It was sourced by W.E Smith LTD. Sydney. This poster Depicts a group of armed German soldiers threatening a young man pinned against a water tank. The other victims in this scene include an elderly man in the foreground, who has been shot, an elderly woman on her knees pleading with their captors, and a young woman in a state of half-undress who is being restrained by two German soldiers in the background.

Secondly, a Poster will be created with the main heading of "When your salmon is actually a pig". This would fulfill the use of images one of the rhetorical strategies, where it would be “photographic but something far more persuasive, a transformation of how we see wand what we pay attention too” (Porter, 253) because, as it is being stated, it is much more affected to show an image that shows something rather than using words to send an entire argument or message across to an audience. If this poster this have this image, it would be a black green space with words on it. This wouldn’t be affective in capturing people’s attention, which is something a poster aspires to do. The poster would get people’s attention initially and therefore the

During this time, the Russian Revolution was happening and the Communists, or Bolsheviks rose to power. Many Americans became fearful of the immigrants in the United States and communist threats to America’s economy. This is known as the “red scare”. There was a specific concern during this time that immigrants would not fit into America, which opposed the ideal of traditional America as the “melting pot”, incorporating all cultures and differences as a united and diverse society. This political cartoon says that the “melting pot” needs to remove the red flag communists and their “un-American ideals” from America.

Propaganda posters during World War II were used to address issues to citizens. In the article “History as Historical Documents”, by Rodney F. Allen, it was stated a good poster is one that communicates a clear message and draws the attention of the viewer (1). These posters were able to influence a lot of citizens to make sacrifices and decisions to help the troops while addressing controversial topics. One of the well-known propaganda posters was “We Can Do It”, with Rosie the Riveter. Rosie the Riveter was a strong and competent factory worker in jeans and a bandanna and urged women to fill jobs that men had to leave for the war (Olsen).

A New York Cartoon really summed up how life was during the Cold War. This cartoon illustrated a nice day with a family sitting outside relaxing on the lawn. One of the people says, “oh, dear, I’d really be enjoying all this if it weren’t for Russia.” This cartoon proves that no one could be happy or focus with the constant fear of communism taking over or the Cold War to enjoy

The author says that perhaps many citizens may be drawn to Communist ideology if the social injustices become more prevalent, and urges the readers to look into the problems of Communist civilizations. This article is an example of how many felt during the Red Scare and Cold War in regards to communism. It shows that people felt a collapse

The poster depicted a Japanese soldier carrying a naked, white women. Many posters like this one demonstrated severe amounts of racism in order to cast the enemies as less than human. This influenced the audience to then morally justify the way they feel about the enemy. In summation, the intended audience of the propaganda had a hefty impact on what the subject of the poster was and what its goal

Propaganda posters first appeared during WW1 (1914-18) when governments decided it was important to show their engagement with the public, it was also a method of enlisting men and selling war bonds in order to finance the military campaign. It was a time of war and this meant that advertising was used to attract war workers, volunteers and soldiers. One of the most notable posters was in 1914, which was an image of the Minister of War in the England with a steely gaze pointing his finger in an attempt to urge young men to enlist in the army. Every other country in the war then seemed to follow suite and use the exact same propaganda approach. In Germany a Reich soldier, pointing his finger patriotically or an Italian soldier doing the same.

With the help of propaganda posters, artists were able to motivate Americans, young and old, to contribute to the role of the United States in the war. Posters often contained children smiling and holding a war bond, with certain words like, “Buy a War Bond today”, or, “Support our troops by buying a War Bond”. However, they didn’t have to involve children. One famous example is “Uncle Sam”, used a propaganda poster to help persuade people to sign up for the draft, was originally published as the cover for the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie's Weekly this portrait of "Uncle Sam" went on to become--according to its creator, James Montgomery Flagg--"the most famous poster in the world."

In the beginning of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution caused a massive economic spike from small-scale production to large factories and mass production. Capitalism became the prevalent mode of the economy, which put all means of production in the hands of the bourgeoisie, or the upper class. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels argue that capitalism centralizes all the wealth and power in the bourgeoisie, despite the proletariat, or the working class, being the overwhelming majority of the population. The manufacturers would exploit the common proletariat and force them to would work in abysmal conditions and receive low wages, furthering the working class poverty. “The Communist Manifesto” predicts that as a result of the mistreatment

In the propaganda poster picture it shows how all these countries was like a chain if you touch them we will... . as it said things like this in the poster it shows how big this was it involved the whole world and making these enemies and allies it a torrential thing in how our country can progress in the future especially our people. It shows how big of a thing we were entering and this was affecting the people because it was very dangerous. And it was a huge chain reaction of countries where you were always making different enemies because whoever you fight with has people under them and under them so it was not a good situation to make enemies at this time. Finally that how the people were affected by the chain of enemies and other countries that we were getting into war

In the early 1900’s European countries began competing and with that they were also building strong army’s and navy’s. After a while, the United States got involved and were in need of the people’s support. It took convincing but once people got on board with the idea of going to war, war fever in the United States was at an all-time high. The United Nations had not yet been established which meant conflicts were not getting resolved. This was unlike anything the U.S. had done before.

A leading 19th century psychologist named William James stated this about propaganda: "There's nothing so absurd that if you repeat it often enough, people will believe it”. Propaganda is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. This is evident in the televised premature ending of the Montag’s chase and in the symbolism of 451 by the government in Ray Bradbury’s dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. However, in our world propaganda has been used to unite a country through targeted mass persuasion. This is seen in two classic U.S propaganda posters that encourage U.S citizens to join the army: “I want you”(index 1) and “Remember Dec. 7th” (index 2).

It portrays the 1917 Russian Revolution atmosphere with the replacement of Russia into Animal Farm. The characters also did not fail to resemble the real people involved in the revolution. Power leads to greed, used to take advantage and manipulate. A person with absolute power tends to choose greediness after a certain time period, despite having followed a wise person’s vision and

Lee argues “Lenin’s diplomacy… ensured Bolshevik survival in this crucial period” . This correctly recognises Lenin’s key role in the Bolshevik success. The Reds’ organisation and control from the central government was hugely important for their win. In August 1918, Lenin finalised a trade agreement where the Bolsheviks were to pay six billion marks and provide Germany with one-quarter of the oil production of Baku on the Caspian Sea. This meant that the Reds could take their focus off the west, especially the Ukraine, and move their forces to better deal with the Socialist Revolutionaries in the east.
