It is the famous Kustodiev huge - two and a half - a picture of "The Girl on the Volga ", written in 1915 . None of mere mortals have not seen her live , so as in 1928, the Soviet government - who would have to suspect him of such sincere monarchist feelings - gave her the Emperor Hirohito of Japan on the occasion of the accession to the throne . So she hangs somewhere in the wilds of the Museum of the Imperial Collections -http ://www.kunaicho.go.jp/e-culture/sannomaru/zuroku-14.html

In 1919 , the company also created a small -sized version , now stored in the Kyrgyz art gallery , or rather the National Art Museum of Gapar Aitiev

Marc Etkind , with whom I was once familiar , they amounted to catalog raisonné of works , Kustodiev , said that he has taken into account - in his view - all the essential picture.
And recently , surfing the internet , I come across the same girl , but moved to the Volga River in birch grove . Oddly enough, that kind of thing , especially something in common with the work during the life of the famous Kustodiev was called , was nowhere mentioned. The book Kruglov , published in 2007 , the year she also does not appear ...
On the Internet a lot of pictures of her , but she museum community either unfamiliar , or whether there are any other reasons , carve it out of the cultural revolution. Are there any comments regarding this " birch " Kustodiev ?
Especially, what about "Girls in a birch grove " questions anymore
