Description
In this poster, Vladimir Lenin speaks of a ghost that is meant to be haunting Europe, the ghost of Communism. One interpretation of the message would reveal that socialism in Russia, according to Lenin, was gaining in popularity, such that its influence was beginning to seep into European society as a reasonable alternative to ineffective imperial rulers with traditional values. The presence of industry in the background symbolizes a level of production that would provide a counterpoint to Lenin's argument for Communism as a model of success.
