Protest of babies 1923

This Soviet poster, created in 1923 by artist A. Komarov, issues an urgent set of demands from children for basic necessities. Slogans in the poster include “We demand!”, “Protection from flies!”, “Dry and clean diapers!”, “Mother’s breast!”, “Clean air and daylight”, “Healthy parents”, and “Professional midwives.” The illustration shows a crowd of babies and toddlers holding protest banners, with one child perched above the rest, leading the charge. Strong colors, expressive faces, and bold typography are used to evoke emotional appeal and public health urgency. It’s a powerful example of early Soviet visual propaganda aimed at improving conditions for children and mothers.
