| Abstract | ||||
| The influence of Soviet ideology on the murals created in the former Soviet Union's member states during the period (1922 – 1991). Art in the Soviet Union was tightly controlled, and the state-sanctioned artistic style became known as socialist realism, and the state approved the general principles of art under communist rule to serve and propagate it. Mosaics began to gain increasing popularity in the Soviet Union, especially after the turning point of 1929–1932. During this period, changes in the political situation were immediately reflected in architecture and in the discussions about it. Accordingly, the phrase "synthesis of arts" began to appear more and more, and multiple calls were made in newspapers, publications, and national conferences calling on artists to embody and immortalize figures who contribute to the construction and development of the Soviet nation, of whom the people are proud and of whom the country is proud, from workers, peasants, builders, engineers, military personnel, and government party figures, through mural works that recorded the most important artistic stations of mural art and showed the extent of the influence of the state and politics in its view of art and its treatment. This massive production of murals continued until the collapse of the Soviet Union and the dismantling of the Union countries | ||||
