The visual originates from a 1920 Soviet agitprop poster. The work is attributed to Vladimir Mayakovsky for the ROSTA agency. The original text links worker absence to bourgeois victory.

Initial discussions are lost, making exact dates unverified. The earliest visible trace appears on June 4, 2015, on 4chan’s /pol/. A user asked for the image's origin then.
