In the painting, Lenin is probably pushing the Communist slogan "Land to the Peasants" and explaining to the farmer the advantages of socialist collectivized farming, and it is an outstanding example of the Soviet multi-layered propaganda fake! First

In the painting, Lenin is probably pushing the Communist slogan "Land to the Peasants" and explaining to the farmer the advantages of socialist collectivized farming, and it is an outstanding example of the Soviet multi-layered propaganda fake! First off, it is hard to imagine Vladimir Lenin meeting with a farmer out in the field. Secondly, Lenin's fatherly hand on the farmer's boy's shoulder. And thirdly, and most importantly, Sudakov painted this work in 1958, many years after the farmer who, as you see, has two horses and a sizable plot of land, must have been either executed as a kulak, a "rich" peasant, or rotting in a Siberian GULAG forced labor camp for refusing to hand over his last grain and farm animals to OGPU raiders. An excellent example of Socialist Realism, indeed!
