Painting by Nina Marchenko

Nina Marchenko is an artist in Kyiv who grew up in the Poltava Oblast. Nina had been repressed by the SSSR as her interest was in painting large Soviet Socialist Realism Monumental artworks that showed the trials and tribulations of  the women.

She did not want to create artworks than only showed `Glory to the  Soviet Union."  Nina said she really wanted to create some artworks in the Soviet style to show what happened to women during the Holodomor.  From 1999 to 2001 Nina created four large outstanding Soviet Socialist Realism Monumental artworks about suffering and death in 1932-33.
