Soviet art

Ok kiddo, let's talk about art from a place that used to be called the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was a big country that existed a long time ago in a place called Russia. They had a special government that controlled everything including what kinds of art people could make.

Soviet art was art that the government wanted people to see and like. This art usually showed important people like soldiers or leaders, or big events like happy workers building things for the country.

The government wanted art that made people feel proud and happy about the Soviet Union. The artists who made these kinds of art were called Socialist Realists. They had to make their art look realistic, which means it had to look like real life.

But not all artists liked making art the way the government wanted. Some people wanted to make art that was different and made their own rules. This kind of art was not allowed and people who made it could get into trouble.

Overall, Soviet art was very controlled by the government and had to follow certain rules. But it also showed what the government wanted its people to think and feel about their country.
