瓦西里也夫为苏联著名的肖像画家,创作过大量以列宁的革命活动为题材的优秀作品。三十年代即被选为苏联最高艺术学院院士,并被授予人民艺术家的光荣称号。此画描绘的是:十月革命初期,列宁正倾听着克鲁普斯卡娅——他的夫人、战友和得力的助手念着刚搜集整理好的材料,准备撰写社论时的瞬间神态。从他的沉思中可以看到领袖对人民的关怀和建立社会主义祖国前所进行的巨大的创造性劳动。 Vasilyev is a well-known portrait painter in the Soviet Union and has produced numerous outstanding works based on Lenin’s revolutionary activities. In the 1930s he was elected to the highest Soviet Academy of Arts, and was awarded the glorious title of the people’s artist. This painting depicts: In the early days of the October Revolution, Lenin was listening to Krupskaya - his wife, comrades in arms and competent aide recalled the moments when he just collected the assembled materials and prepared for the editorial. From his contemplation, he can see the leader’s care for the people and the enormous creative work done before the founding of the socialist motherland.
