Original Note:
This painting is from 1951. Khmelko is known for his Socialist Realism paintings. As part of socialist realism, art had to be partisan, an unquestionable endorsement of the communist party. Socialist realism has been described by the Tate Gallery as "propaganda art". https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/s/socialist-realism https://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages%5CS%5CO%5CSocialistrealism.htm https://petersrussia.blogspot.com/2015/10/blog-post.html?m=1
