The term “agitprop” is a fusion of the Russian words “agitatsiya” (agitation) and “propaganda.” It emerged in the early years of the Soviet Union following the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, where it described art, media, and performances designed to politically educate and mobilize the masses. Agitprop posters became especially prominent under Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin, where visual propaganda was viewed as a critical tool to shape public opinion, glorify labor, demonize enemies of the state, and promote socialist ideals. These posters were displayed in factories, communal spaces, and public areas to create a unified visual language of revolution, industrial progress, and collective purpose.
