Image title
Petr i Vasilii, ili derevnia v "Sovdepii" (Series of colour drawings, accompanied by text. The poster tells of two peasants - Petr and Vasilii who live in the same village. Petr is hardworking and lives in plenty. Vasilii drinks day and night. Then "a great misfortune befalls Holy Russia - the arrival of Soviet power". A Comissar from Moscow sends the village a copy of the decree on land. An orator arrives, sent from Lenin. The drunk and bawling Vasilii makes the most noise at the meeting and is made President of the Committee of the Poor. He lives a easy life, takes Petr's horse, his flour, his samovar..."it turns out that the decree is such that he who has worked all his life is labelled a kulak and a harmful person"...Within a month the houses are falling down, the livestock have died - only the members of the committee live well)
