EDITORS COMMENTS
The "Remember the Hungry!" poster, created in 1921 by Ivan Simakov, is a vivid reminder of the dire circumstances faced by many during the Russian Revolution. This colour lithograph print captures the essence of desperation and poverty that plagued the nation at that time. In this powerful image, a hand emerges from a crowd, pointing towards an unseen source of sustenance. The outstretched finger serves as a poignant symbol for hunger and deprivation. The artist's use of vibrant colours draws attention to this urgent message, evoking empathy and compassion from viewers. Simakov's work was undoubtedly intended as propaganda to rally support for revolutionary causes. By highlighting the plight of those suffering from starvation and poverty, he aimed to galvanize action against inequality and injustice. This historical artifact now resides in Moscow's Museum of the Revolution, serving as a testament to Russia's tumultuous past. While it is no longer subject to copyright restrictions due to its age, it remains an important piece in understanding both artistic expression during times of political upheaval and the hardships endured by ordinary citizens. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print today, let us not forget those who have suffered throughout history due to hunger and impoverishment. May it serve as a constant reminder that our collective efforts are needed to address these pressing issues worldwide.
