USSR. Circa 1935. A black and white archival reproduction of a drawing by P.V. Vasilyev titled "I.V. Stalin among delegates of the Second Congress of Collective Farmers." The Soviet leader, holding his pipe, engages in conversation with a diverse group of peasant workers, including men in fur hats and women in headscarves. This socialist realism artwork illustrates the ideological theme of the leader's unity with the people during the collectivization era of the 1930s.
