Caption: "Dad, do not drink" - A Powerful Soviet Anti-Alcohol Poster by Dmitry Anatolyevich Bulanov This print titled "Dad, do not drink" is a remarkable example of the powerful propaganda art that emerged during the Soviet era. Created in 1929 by Russian artist Dmitry Anatolyevich Bulanov (1898-1942), this colour lithograph was intended to serve as a visual reminder of the dangers and detrimental effects of alcohol consumption. The image depicts a distressed family scene, with a young boy pleading with his father to abstain from drinking. The artist skillfully uses symbolism to convey his message; empty bottles and glasses are scattered around the room while an ominous shadow looms over the father's figure. This stark representation highlights the destructive nature of alcoholism on individuals and their loved ones. Bulanov's work falls under the genre of socialist realism, which aimed to promote political messages through fine art images. It served as an effective tool for agitation against excessive drinking prevalent in Russia at that time. By employing satire and exaggeration, this poster sought to discourage viewers from indulging in alcoholic beverages. Found within the collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this anti-alcohol poster remains an important historical artifact representing one aspect of Soviet society during its early years. Its enduring impact lies in its ability to provoke thought and stimulate conversations about addiction, social issues, and personal responsibility even today.
