When creating the canvas, a well -known documentary frame was used in. AND. Lenin bypasses the front of the universal troops on Red Square in Moscow May 25, 1919 “.

The soldiers of the revolution
The bloody time of the Civil War needed their heroes, and they appeared in the radiance of the heroic-romantic halo. Poems and songs were composed of them, novels and poems were written. Artists, especially professionals of the historical and battal genre, were delegated to the hottest spots to write portraits of “commissioners in dusty helmets” (b. Sh. Okudzhava) and paintings perpetuating their exploits. But the main burden of current revolutionary hardships fell on the shoulders of ordinary people – workers, soldiers, sailors, peasants – and they sang the masses performed by valor, which makes up a single whole with their leaders and commanders.
