"He lived in Moscow in Ulan street artist Vyacheslav Pavlovich Bychkov. Humble, wholeheartedly devoted to the art of man, he was only in the literature of art criticism. For many years, VP Bychkov was the soul of this amazing exhibition of the Moscow Association, the Union of Russian Artists.

The catalogs of exhibitions of the Union after the name of the artist listed job numbers, their titles: "Bazar", "Volga banks" ... So wrote him once Uncle Gil:

And on this sunny Bazaar
Over rough Volga Krasny Yar,
And running up the "Airplane" [Steamship Company "Airplane"]
Living Volga gives me. "
