Socialist Realism is the officially sanctioned style of art that dominated Soviet painting for 50 years from the early 1930s. The style and content was laid down by the state with the purpose of furthering the goals of socialism and communism.

Over a span of several decades social realism dominated and was in fact the only legitimate artistic style in the Soviet Union. Artists were to mirror reality as it was, “in its historic and revolutionary development” and in conformity with the “task of ideological transformation and education of workers in the spirit of socialism.”

Artworks and artists: Suprematism was one of the most radical developments in abstract art that would be superior to all the art of the past, and that it would lead to art's barest essentials and ultimate glory.

The Russian art occupies a significant place in the funds of the National Art Museum of the Republic Belarus. Today its collection, which includes works of art of the 18-20th centuries, has more than three with a half thousands of the units of painting, sculptures, graphics, decorative-applied art.
