In the first post-revolutionary years agitational art covered a variety of aspects of everyday life. In this direction, both avant-garde artists and academic artists worked.

"The revolution in art began long before the October Revolution. There is such a view that the avant-garde is an art born in October. In fact, these processes were an evolution in the whole world art, but the Russian revolution became a catalyst for those processes, "- said the director of the Russian Museum Vladimir Gusev.
