* Yuri Neprintsev (1909-1996) - Soviet, Russian painter, graphic artist, art teacher, professor of the Repin Institute of Arts, People's Artist of USSR, a member of the Academy of Arts of the USSR. The original version of painting "The Rest after the Battle. Vasily Terkin" (1951, Stalin Prize of the first degree - 1952) was gifted for Mao Zedong. In 1953 the second version "The Rest after the Battle" was painted by Yuri Neprintsev for Kremlin. In 1955 he painted the third version for the Tretyakov Gallery.

* Juri Neprintsev lõi palju sõjateemalisi maale. "Puhkus pärast lahingut" oli esialgselt mõeldud illustratsiooniks Aleksandr Tvardovski poeemile "Vassili Tjorkin", kuid sai väga populaarseks. Selle maali originaal (1951) kingiti Hiinasse Mao Zedongile, autori teine versioon (1953) on kaunaistanud Moskva Kremli Georgi saali ja kolmas versioon (1955) on Tretjakovi Galeriis.

* Замысел картины "Отдых после боя. Василий Тёркин" (1951) Непринцеву подсказали личные наблюдения и переживания военных лет, а также знаменитая поэма А. Твардовского "Василий Тёркин". Оригинал картины "Отдых после боя» был подарен руководителю КНР Мао Цзэдуну. В 1953 году Юрий Непринцев пишет вторую авторскую версию картины для Георгиевского зала московского Кремля, а в 1955 году - третью версию для Государственной Третьяковской галереи.

* "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.
