Propaganda posters are posters that expressed ideas, information, opinion, and rumors either to promote or threaten a certain group or organization. Propaganda posters are the most affective media for communicating in the past. Propaganda posters have been used all over the country at that time. Propaganda poster will help us learn about people’s thoughts, opinion, and what has happened in the event which the propaganda poster was made for.

The poster on the far right is a poster of a Russian peasant kissing a Russian soldier. The color of the poster is mostly white, black, and red. The black and white is just the common, and cheapest ink color at the time, but it also makes the red stand out. The red color represents communism. I think that this poster is trying to say that under communism and Lenin's control, the peasants and soldiers will unite and become one as a greater nation.

The middle poster is a picture of Lenin holding the Pravda newspaper. The poster states “All power to soviets! Peace to all nations! Land to peasants! Factories to workers!” as a caption. What I learned from the poster is that Lenin will make peace with all nations, give power to the soviets, give land and factory to the peasants, and i think the newspaper also represents "No Censorship."

The left most poster is a red poster of Lenin. The poster states “We should strive to raise the name and importance of a [communist] party higher, higher and higher.” I think the red color of the poster resembles the color of the soviets, and Lenin represents the one as their leader, and it would be a great sucess if he was to become leader of the soviets and would make a great nation.

The main purposes of these propaganda posters is to persuade the people and make them think that if they wanted to have better life they must supported the Bolsheviks, and or the Soviets. There are only three colors on the posters. The red color represents the soviets, Red Guards, or the Red Army(not MUFC). The result is that the Bolsheviks are recommending and advising the people to support the revolution and help the Bolsheviks rise to power.
