Agitprop

Agitprop, short for "agitation propaganda," refers to artistic or creative work—such as theater, film, literature, or visual art—that aims to influence public opinion and promote political ideas. Originating from Soviet Russia, it is designed to inspire action or support for specific causes by emotionally engaging audiences and delivering persuasive messages. Typically used in political contexts, agitprop seeks to raise awareness, mobilize communities, or reinforce ideological beliefs through compelling storytelling and imagery. It combines entertainment with propaganda, making complex issues more accessible and motivating people towards particular viewpoints or behaviors.
