People's Artist Of The USSR
People's Artist of the USSR ( rus, Народный артист СССР, Narodny artist SSSR), also sometimes translated as National Artist of the USSR, was an honorary title granted to artists of the Soviet Union.

Accordingly, artists and authors who expressed criticism of the Communist Party were seldom granted such recognition, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
