Investments in the Socialist Realism
Vladimir Bogdanov.
--------------------------------------------
The closer the past, the harder to give him an unbiased assessment. Especially if the past were so persistence.

Past smiling pioneers and athletes from the walls of the palaces of sports, the most humane portraits hung in school classrooms, it is loaded, false optimism from the pages of "Female" and "Peasant" - more precisely, trying to load: in late 1970 - e - 1980 succeeded, I must say so myself. Social realism in the mainstream too, and contrasted with the "socialism", and with reality. Not surprisingly, all this does not backed picturesque edification for dozens of years of Soviet power had reduced boring as boring can be strong, but repetitive wallpaper. No, this painting in its mass does not cause irritation. What is worse - do not cause any strong emotions. In the late 1980's - early 1990's alone the idea that it would take ten years, and Socialist Realism will buy not only foreigners, but former "prisoners of the socialist camp", could cause a wry smile.
