"Bolshevism: A Revolutionary Ideology that Shaped History" Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan, a prominent Russian Soviet politician, stands side by side with the iconic Ernesto Che Guevara, symbolizing the global reach of Bolshevism. This ideology, born out of the Bolshevik underground movement led by figures like Stalin in 1900, aimed to transform society and create a communist utopia. In 1920, V. Sherbakov's revolutionary poster depicts Lenin pointing the way to communism against a backdrop of smokestacks, emphasizing industrialization as a means to achieve equality. The image captures the fervor and determination that characterized this era. The February 1917 oil painting showcases a powerful demonstration during the Russian Revolution when masses took to the streets demanding change. It exemplifies how Bolshevism galvanized people from all walks of life towards social transformation. Even beyond Russia's borders, Bolshevism found resonance; an intriguing Swiss poster from around 1930 highlights communism's influence abroad. Its message suggests that this ideology transcended national boundaries and appealed to those seeking radical change worldwide. Photographs capture key figures such as Leon Trotsky and Sergei Kirov – both instrumental in shaping Bolshevism's trajectory – their black-and-white images reflecting their unwavering commitment to revolutionize society. Yet Bolshevism was not without controversy; "Bolshevism brings War, Unemployment and Famine, " declares a vividly colored lithograph from 1918. Critics argued that this ideology brought more suffering than liberation—a debate that still echoes through history books today. "The 27th of February 1917" painting encapsulates one pivotal moment when Tsar Nicholas II abdicated his throne amidst growing unrest—an event that set in motion Russia's tumultuous path towards Bolshevik rule. Bolshevism remains an influential force even today.
