Russian Posters

Propaganda is basically the media. The media is a way of reaching out to the people. The media consists of entertainment, news, information and advertisements. This was used to portray ideas and changes during the wars. Some means of propaganda were the uses of posters and how they changed the ideas and thought's of the civilians. We can obtain messages that are being put out by the person who produced it, and in this day and age, it helps us to look back and see how their past ideas have influenced today's daily life. We can learn how they thought, and if it is connected to the way we think too, as a society.

The message of the poster is that, instead of fighting with each other, a peace agreement must be made within our own country, so we do not spill each others blood. Then the country would not suffer from so many more unnecessary deaths caused by people's own countrymen. It is definitely trying to get the people's attention and awareness that a peace settlement could actually be a possibility, and so it go into soldier's back minds. It shows it's message with the shaking of two hands, and their is the symbol of the Soviet at the back in the middle of a world and leaves at the side, a peace symbol. It is effective that it uses peace symbolism and it gives hope to the people that peace could be made, and the fighting over.

The message of the poster is to show and advertise that the World War had ended and their was finally peace between the nation and other countries. It is more a kind of signal and advertisement rather than a message that is trying to get to people's heads. One message you could interpret from it is that, peace is a good thing. The message is conveyed from it's bright white and a dove in the background. A dove is a main symbol for peace. The dove has the Soviet symbol with two weapons being hidden behind it, to show that there is no more fighting. There is also red, a color of the country. The poster is a good one, to show the ecstatic peace that has finally been made between it's enemies to end the war.

The message of this poster states that Russia has beaten Germany in a battle and they are still very much in the war, holding their guns with flags, and are happy from the recent victory. It shows that they will keep taking part in the war and keep fighting. It is trying to get people to support the cause and not feel or think negatively towards Russia's decision to take part in the war. It conveys it's message with the soldiers all lined up and ready for their duty, it conveys with the guns, and you can see that there is no intention to stop.

From these three posters that I have looked at, I have seen that has had a violent history, along with peace. I have seen that Russia has had problems within themselves and with other countries. Sometimes they got peace, and sometimes they were fighting. It says that the Russian people have not always supported the wars, they have also been against it and longed for peace. Propaganda has been used to spread ideas throughout the Russian history. It gives people a view of things and what they should believe in and think like.

Battle Of Champagne

The Battle of Champagne was taken place in 1914, in the year that the First World War had started. It took place in France, and in the areas of Champagne, Artois, St. Mihiel, Verdun, Nieuport, Reims, Ardennes, River Yser, Perthes, Givenchy, Noyon, Woevre, La Basse Canal, and Soissons.

The battle was being constructed by the French Commander, Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre, who wanted to apparently finish the war vastly, so he and his allies sent out skirmishes around the different areas to perform attacks against the German troops. It started on the 20th of December. He was unsuccesful with his wars with trenches, so then he created a long trench line that stretched out from Nieuport to Verdun. He had a plan that caused the Germans to retreat, and then he would get them again at their retreat. This big plan was again carried out by little fights, and through this phase of the war, the French did not get a lot out of it too. This was because the Germans fought well and used their weaopons well. The Germans used machine guns that came to their advantage. The fight went on, and the Germans were doing well with their defensive-offensive attacks. So because of this state, the French called off their attack. The French and Germans both lost about 90,000 soldiers. Some German soldiers were also being transferred to go fight against Russia, and Joffre knew this, so later in 1915, he started his attacks again.
