Propaganda paintings cut from a very large oil painting and reframed. This painting futures the Aurora who fired the first shot in the October Revolution 1917. The paintings have hung in a government building as propaganda pieces for Communism. Beautiful ! So rare. After the 1956 revolution and the departure of the Soviet Union from Hungary, everything related to the CCCP was removed and destroyed. Fortunately, these paintings were removed from their original frame and cut into pieces, rolled up and taken home and eventually ended up in the attic where they have only now been found again.
All paintings have been re-stretched on new frames and are in good condition.
They were probably painted on canvas from the late 1950s, early 1960s, which looks like linen. You will never see this again! Very special.
The Aurora was made in 1903 and most of the crew joined the Bolshevics who were preparing a communist revolution led by Lenin in 1917. This ship fired the first shot signalling the start of the October revolution. In WWII the guns was taken off the ship to use it for the defence of Leningrad. After the war the Aurora was a navy training vessel and later, till this day, a museum located at St. Petersburg (formaly known as Leningrad).
