Soviet postcard, 1973, with space art by Andrei Sokolov and cosmonaut Alexei Leonov.
He was a founder of several major Soviet art movements including Oktyabr. He was ranked by the USSR as ‘1a World Famous Artist’. Portrait (1935) & Nude studies however indicate that his first love was always the naked body. His male nudes, given the repression, are surprising
The Sleeping Boy with Cornflowers (1932), Noon (1932), the Football Player (1932) & the Boys (1932) show different aspects of his art. The Boy is a tender depiction of possibility & placidity which contrasts with the vigour & dynamics of his Soviet youth.

Although media calls this Russian light machine gun DP-28, its actual name is the DP-27 (referring to 1927, the year that it was designed). Western sources assumed it would be named after its first year of service, 1928 (which was common practice by the Soviet Union).
