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.

Народная артистка СССР), awarded in performing arts and Народный художник СССР, granted in some visual arts.

As this title was granted by the government, honorees were afforded certain privileges and would often receive commissions from the Minister of Culture of the Soviet Union. Accordingly, artists and authors who expressed criticism of the Communist Party were seldom granted such recognition, if ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
