"Esimene september" / A. Volkov.
"Первое сентября" / Худ А. Волков.
Postcard, 1954.
My collection.
* "September 1" is a painting by the Soviet artist A. Volkov. The piece, depicting a student getting ready for the first day of school, was widely known in the 1950s and typical of the period. Created in 1951, it included the "mandatory attributes" of the time: J. Stalin's portrait and bust. The artist supposedly removed those elements from his original painting in the 1960s. The girl is wearing a school uniform and a Young Pioneer scarf.
* Knowledge Day (Russian: День Знаний), often simply called 1st of September, is the day when the school year traditionally starts in Russia and many other former Soviet republics. This day also marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.
* "Esimene september" on Nõukogude kunstniku A. Volkovi 1950.-1960. aastatel väga tuntud maal esimeseks koolipäevaks valmistuvast tüdrukust. 1951. a loodud pildil on veel n-ö kohustusliku atribuudina J. Stalini büst ja portree. Väidetavalt on kunstnik need 1960ndatel aastatel oma maali originaalilt eemaldanud.
