AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This research paper delves into the transformative potential of Visual Communication Design in political landscapes, particularly in ex-Soviet countries where the democratic process is often skewed. By examining the work of creatives like Alex Buretz from Moldova and Pasha Cas from Kazakhstan, the paper seeks to understand how visual communication can challenge the political status quo, unify society, and instigate change. The research also probes the intricate relationship between design, the designer, and politics, and how collective initiatives can amplify the impact of design as a form of activism. Accompanying the research is a Design Project, an exhibition set in Berlin, which aims to visually represent the paper's core message: that Visual Communication Design is an essential tool for instigating political change. Keywords: Visual Communication Design, Ex-Soviet Countries, Political Change, Activism, Design Project, Collective Initiatives
