Artist - Veksler Abram Iosifovich - "Lenin and Stalin Carrying a Log at a Subbotnik in the Kremlin." Soviet Socialist Realism. Featuring Lenin and Stalin. A "subbotnik" in the Soviet Union was a day of voluntary, unpaid labor, typically held on a Saturday. This practice was initiated after the October Revolution of 1917 and symbolized public enthusiasm and personal contribution to the development of the socialist state. People gathered to clean streets, plant trees, build or repair public buildings, and engage in other socially beneficial work. Subbotniks also fostered a sense of collectivism and team spirit. A.I. Veksler (1910 - 1982) was a Soviet painter and a member of the USSR Union of Artists. He studied at the Odessa Art Institute from 1931 to 1936 and pursued a career in easel painting. Veksler taught at the Kherson Art School between 1936 and 1940, and at the Odessa Art School from 1946 to 1955. He participated in Republican exhibitions starting in 1948 and in All-Union exhibitions from 1955. His major works include "A.S. Pushkin and A. Mitskevich" (1950), "To the Native Shores" (1957), "Odessa Port. The Whalers are Back" (1960), "Sparrows" (1964), and the triptych "Let's Not Forget" (1961-1965).
