The poster speaks in the voice of the person it shows: "Take my picture. Show my face. Tell everyone I am still here." Printed in 1984, it was made for the movement campaigning on behalf of Jews in the Soviet Union, many of whom had applied to emigrate and then faced refusal, job loss and harassment. Activists in the United States, including demonstrators in New York State, used images like this to press Soviet authorities and Western governments to allow people to leave. The large chromolithograph format suited street display, where a single face could carry the message to passersby.
