Mammoth is the best friend of the proletariat

in #history7 years ago (edited)

I do not know what idea this artist was moving with a drawing poster almost 100 years ago in Yakutia which was then the arena of the struggle between the White and Red Armies in the Civil war in Russia.Probably, previously found in the land in the permafrost, the remnants of these ancient animals encouraged the agitators to paint such a Socialist poster. Мammoth holds a hammer with its trunk. And his Tusks is very similar to a Sickle which, together with a hammer constitute a socialist symbols.

Mammoth is a friend of the proletarian.Give socialism for the Arctic Circle!

Far East of Russia, Yakutia, 1920s.

Дизайн агитационного плаката из Якутии забавляет. Первые археологические находки в Якутии в XX веке дали простор для полёта фантазии художника. С молотом всё понятно, а вот роль серпа исполняют бивни-мощно,надежно и на таран!))
