Strong Power is obliged to dictate not only in politics and weapons, but also in art and in every way he promoted. Do not you think that Western propaganda has long been in freedom feels in Russian contemporary art? So why are we not impose his? 70 years imposed, and then the Power broke, betrayed Gorbachev and Yeltsin, and off they'd go - barking artist Kulik, mocking the recent history, etc. And how evil gnomes creep Mickey Kosolapova with the hammer and sickle in its claws. Ghastly and tin
For themselves from the propaganda department of art.

Agree. But you all confused again. Sots.realizm it entirely for domestic consumption was. And only their citizens lyumpenizirovanym could be imposed. Unlike ballet or academic music.
I'm not so radical in denial sots.realizma as Cyril. Yes, the phenomenon - but not art. rather propaganda (I worked for several years spin doctors, so I know whereof I speak).
He eats, but the authors wrote, and "Landscapes", but it all pointed the same secondary seal, with a square (the socialist reality and painting Wanderers). In the West, by the way, a collector's interest in him only from this point of view (except for a couple of galleries, which are able to buy a cheap one, and through this to have the opportunity to promote national art in a different country). He eats, but if you like itinerants - like landscapes and under them. But generally, the discussion of social realism in terms of the qualities inherent in art (and the more interior (that this forum is a priori, apart from some participants) - at the level of "like do not like") criteria - is meaningless. No there is nothing from this point of view. Could not be. Neither art nor the passenger compartment. MB only in Ukraine was a saloon. Because "the Ukraine" - to the south and farther from the epicenter sots.realizma.
