in Leningrad in 1920. He finished Leningrad Art School in 1937 and then
graduated from the Repin Art Academy in 1952. Passionate realist he
spent long hours sketching and drawing from life scenes and travelling
about his vast native land with his palette and brush. In 1953 he became
Member of the Union of Artists, establishing himself as a portraitist

life-long inspiration. His versatile talent was recognised in Russia
early before "perestroika" opened doors to the western world
of connoisseurs of art. His works are exhibited in galleries and museums
of different towns and cities of his motherland, including internationally
known the Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow). Many of his paintings found their
way to private collections in the USA, Great Britain, Japan, Germany

"The
sentries would not let the peasant's petitioners in to meet Lenin.
The peasants insisted. Lenin heard the argument and came out.
The peasants flocked together, put their bags onto the floor,
and took off their hats in respect. They poured their hearts to
him. Lenin could understand the needs of poor peasants and they
warmed up to him. He could easily tell the rich peasants from
the poor, those who worked from early morning till late at night
from those who made a profit exploiting the others. That was why
peasants left this hospitable room with a feeling of total trust
to their leader." Viktor Tsvetkov 1960
