Poster. Appeal to the Jews to Act on Behalf of 'Red Russia', 'Long Live Communism'!
ארבעטר, אין די פראפפאר איינען!. Poster appealing to Jews to act on behalf of Russia, published by the Central Government in Kiev. The bottom of the leaf notes that the Kiev government published this notice for the Jews.
[1] large leaf. 42x33 cm. Yiddish.
The poster was publicly displayed. The text notes that it was published soon after the October Revolution, three years after the destruction left by World War One. The October Revolution transfers the power and control from the capitalists to the workers. It concludes with 'Long live Communism. Long live the power of the workers'. The poster employs the word 'shul' to express the new Communist organization. The allusion is clear: one should switch their 'shul' – Jewish synagogue - with the General Communist Organization.
Very fine condition.
