Soviet art is a form of visual art produced after the October Socialist Revolution of 1917 in Soviet Russia (1917—1922) and the Soviet Union (1922—1991), when the short-lived Russian Republic was overthrown and replaced. This led to an artistic and cultural shift within Russia and the Soviet Union as a whole, including a new focus on Socialist Realism in officially approved art. Soviet art of the post-revolutionary period The consolidation of Soviet art was preceded throughout the 1920s by an era of intense ideological competition between different artistic groupings, with members each striving to ensure their own views would have priority in determining the forms and directions in which Soviet art would develop; seeking to occupy key posts in cultural institutions and to win the favor and support of the authorities. This struggle was made even more bitter by the growing crisis of radical ''leftist'' art. At the turn of the 1930s, many ''avant-garde'' tendencies that ha ...
