1992 Ink Drawing Of Lenin Being Led To Hell In Red Square In Moscow USSR Framed
Product Highlights:
- Ink drawing by street artist in 1992
- Depicts Lenin being led to hell in the Red Square in Moscow, Russia
- Black frame with white and red matting
- Frame is 16 inches in length and 21 inches in height
- Small scuffs on the frame but does not take away from the integrity of the drawing
- Wall hanging mount
- A note on the back from the original purchaser states: "This drawing by a street artist was purchased by me in June, 1992, in Red Square in Moscow in front of St. Basil's cathedral (the multi-domed ediface shown in the picture.) It shows Lenin being led from his mausoleum at the base of the wall of the Kremlin to Hell. The chaps in the hot water are supposed to be former leaders of the Soviet Union. Who could have foreseen even two or three years ago that such a savage attack on the Communist Party could take place in Red Square where every May Day, for decades, the military might of the USSR has passed in review before its grim faced leaders standing atop the mausoleum. It was not until after I returned home with the picture that I noted the Star of David sketched on the chest of the Devil. I found that fact to be so repulsive that I almost did not hang the drawing. But I finally decided it was part of the historical statement being made: although Communism has been rejected by the Russians, the brutal anti-semiticism of the Stalin era has not."
