Kira Ivanova & Vasiliy Ezdakov, Naval Fleet Day
Socialist realism, the official style of the Soviet Union, often used the technique of impressionism, but its peculiarity was that it sought to depict reality as it should be, and therefore was an optimistic embellishment of reality. Socialist realism has become one of the most successful areas of collecting, especially in the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
