Boris Kustodiyev (1878 - 1927) - Bolshevik, 1920
Russian School. Oil on canvas
State Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia
In 1919 - 1920 years Kustodiyev wrote one of the most remarkable paintings of the first years of the revolution - «
Bolshevik
». Toward the viewer past out in the streets dressed people walking figure with a huge red flag in his hands.

Kustodiyev understood revolution as a spontaneous, giant in scale popular rebellion. In this picture the artist wanted to express "a sense of disaster in Bolshevism," using such a method as grotesque. Huge, powerful figure with a Bolshevik red flag in his hands towers over the town and its people.

And yet artistic design in the picture is ambiguous. Figure of the Bolshevik artist depicted against the background of the city. Bolshevik above the houses, above the church, and the banner in his hand obscures the whole sky, just right for Mayakovsky: Flags hang sky! ". But the people at the feet of the Bolsheviks, compared with negligible chalk. This reflected the dominant while exaggerating the Bolsheviks role of personality in history and their contempt for the people as the amorphous "masses", with which you can do anything you want. Kustodiyev expressed the view steadfast on the Bolsheviks, they tried to impress on his people. If you look at the face of the Bolshevik, the fanatical and fierce, pitiless, crushing him gait, his willingness to carry standing in the way of the temple, we can assume that the artist was very skeptical attitude toward the revolution, at least during the creation of this painting. Especially because the action takes place at sunset, which is very symbolic.

Khrushchev visit the exhibition "New Reality»

Visit Nikita Khrushchev at the Manege Exhibition
. 01.12.1962
Exposition "new reality", organized Eliem Belyutin , was part of a large exhibition in the Arena, marking the 30 th anniversary of the Moscow branch of the Union of Artists.

accompanied Nikita Khrushchev, Mikhail Suslov, Alexander Shelepin and Sergei Pavlov. Khrushchev walked hall three times, then asked questions of the artists. In particular, he asked the artists who were their fathers, figuring out the class origin. Michael Suslov drew attention to some details of Khrushchev's paintings, then Khrushchev began to be indignant, using, among others, words like "crap", "shit" "Daub»

Smart resentment at Khrushchev led the work of artists Sooster Yu, B. and B. Yankylevsky Zhutovski. Khrushchev demanded the prohibition of Exhibitor:

«Very generally, and it is not clear. Here's what Belyutin, I tell you as President of the Council of Ministers: this is not necessary to the Soviet people. You know, it I tell you! ... Deny! All forbid! To stop this outrage! I order you! I'm talking about! And follow all! And on the radio and on television and in print all Fan of the uprooted! »

Contrary to some reports that appeared in the Western press, Khrushchev not to disrupt the paintings on the walls. When you are finished exposure, he said that the Soviet people this is not necessary.

Any objections useless
: Ministry of Culture Machine have already left for the first addresses for the artists paintings

Explanation DA Polikarpov was extremely simple: the first meeting of the Ideological Commission decided to include in the exhibition Taganskaya moshovskoy show (especially since most participants have been members of the Union) and thus extend the concept itself of socialist realism, returning all the tendencies of development of Soviet art in a single channel. Literally His words: "The party can not listen to the brightly manifested itself in trends in painting the postwar years. Visiting the exhibition members of the ideological Commission formally decides the exhibition urgent issue. "

Made for the night exhibition was approved Furtseva along with the most amiable parting her words. At 10 am Dec. 1 at the threshold of an arena appeared Khrushchev. And his first question: "Where's your righteous, where sinners?" - Was as if unnoticed.

much more important was that the prime minister has grown around the figure of Suslov, who had just dismissed from his duties spichraytora that several days earlier, went to the chairman of the Ideological Commission, LF Il'ichevo. Suslov also vacated a seat at the elbow Secretary General Secretary of the Union of Soviet Artists
Vladimir Serov
, known for his paintings of Lenin serials. Program Suslov, Serov was launched with the first steps of a tuple.

First and foremost trump Serov began painting masters of 20-ies. Poorly hung, worse lighted, they were presented to Khrushchev as "spotting" for which museums are paying unimaginable money (trudyaschihsya!). Recently there was a monetary reform, and Serov operated on the old course, referring to some astronomical price. None of those present Artists - BV Johanson,
SV Gerasimov
, Mochalsky - not amended. As no one told the Prime Minister that those painters, whom he intended to expel and issue them a ticket to the border - Falk, Tatlin, Alexander Drevin, others have long gone out of life. Thunder and lightning darted over the corpses. From living Serov suggested only the names of young, aspiring to the leadership of the Union. On them, Khrushchev began to "plant", once again, on thicker interspersing speech areal words.

Today, not only ours, but American historians became obvious motives "explosion" of Khrushchev. Just that - in October 62 th - he had to withdraw from Cuba nuclear warheads. In the eyes of the orthodox party was the defeat of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the victory of the "rotten West." To compensate for this "failure", Khrushchev decided to take revenge on the new stage of the Cold War and ideological reaction inside the Soviet Union.

In October 1962 the world was just a step away from nuclear war ...
