=== Paintings ===
The painter [[Aleksandr Deineka]] provides a notable example for his expressionist and patriotic scenes of the Second World War, collective farms, and sports. Yuriy Ivanovich Pimenov, [[Boris Ioganson]] and [[Geli Korzev]] have also been described as "unappreciated masters of twentieth-century realism".<ref>{{cite journal|last=Bartelik|first=Marek|year=1999|title=Concerning Socialist Realism: Recent Publications on Russian Art (book review)|journal=Art Journal|volume=58|issue=4|pages=90–95|doi=10.2307/777916|jstor=777916}}</ref> Another well-known practitioner was [[Fyodor Pavlovich Reshetnikov]].

Socialist realist art found acceptance in the [[Baltic region|Baltic]] nations, inspiring many artists. One such artist was [[Czeslaw Znamierowski]] (23 May 1890 – 9 August 1977), a [[Soviet]] [[Lithuania]]n painter, known for his large panoramic landscapes and love of nature. Znamierowski combined these two passions to create very notable paintings in the Soviet Union, earning the prestigious title of [[Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic|Honorable Artist of LSSR]] in 1965.<ref>Alekna, Romas (24 May 1975).
