"Down with capital, long live the dictatorship of the proletariat!"
During the middle of the Russian Civil War, the Bolsheviks celebrated the 3rd anniversary of the October Revolution. In Moscow, they held a parade on Red Square on November 7th, 1920. This poster shows two dates for the October anniversary. The 25th is the date of the revolution on the Gregorian calendar, while November 7th is recorded on the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar was implemented by Soviet Russia in February 1918.
Symbolically, the poster shows a worker with rifle in hand stomping on capitalism as columns from a bank building are under his foot. At the rear, workers are marching against the backdrop of a rising sun. This poster was designed by the artist Dmitry Melnikov.
