The works of artists of socialist realism have always been based on the truth of life and historical optimism, skill, formed on the traditions of classical art. This was the time when the art of socialist realism dominated, as its aesthetics met the tastes of the authorities and the people. Painting, illustrating the surrounding reality, is clear to everyone. The main characteristics of the style were: pathos, nationality, positive, love of life, as well as the inseparability of man from society.
