EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chemistry in the hands of the proletariat and the peasantry, 1933" by Lissitzky encapsulates a pivotal moment in Soviet history. The artwork, found in the Collection of Russian State Library in Moscow, is part of the book art series "USSR Builds Socialism" which aimed to promote industrialization and political agitation. The image showcases a powerful symbol of progress as it depicts workers from all walks of life engaging with chemistry. In this dynamic photomontage, we witness the fusion between fine art and graphic design that characterizes Konstruktivism, an influential movement during that era. Lissitzky's lithography skillfully captures Lenin's vision for electrification and economic growth through industrialization. The composition exudes energy and determination as people from diverse backgrounds come together to build a new society. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on empowering both the proletariat (working class) and peasantry (rural laborers) within Soviet ideology. As a propaganda piece, this poster aims to inspire pride among citizens while promoting unity towards achieving common goals. By highlighting chemistry as an essential tool for progress, it emphasizes education and scientific advancement as key components of building socialism. Overall, this historic artwork not only reflects Russia's transformative period but also exemplifies how visual imagery can be used effectively for political purposes. It stands as a reminder of an era when hope was palpable amidst societal change – where work became synonymous with revolutionizing one
