1917-1924 - Lenin Propaganda

• Lenin was an expert in the use of propaganda to mobilise support for the Bolsheviks.
• Lenin's snappy slogans in 1917 such as "All Power to the Soviets" and "Peace, Bread, Land" had contributed significantly to the growth in support for the Bolshevils.
• Lenin continued after the revolution with propaganda focused on the defeat and elimination of bourgeois "class enemies".
• Lenin was skilfully directing people's anger against a common enemy and away from criticising the new regime.
• The Civil War period saw propaganda portraying the White armies as agents of tsarism or hostile foreign capitalist powers.
