Hello:
I once saw a copy of an interesting painting. I believe it is in
the "Soviet Realist" style. It is set in the second world war, near
the front. A group of ragged soldiers are gathered, listening to one
soldier who seems to be telling an off-color story. Does this sound
familiar to anyone?

Spacebo.

Sorry, can't help you with title. It would be very difficult to find. Looks
like
art of that time is not popular, therefore nobody scans or uploads it in the
net for sure...

I just wanted to tell that there is no such style as "Soviet Realist"
and never was.

Basic art style that was accepted in socialist countries was "Socialist
Realism"
which was just an extention of plain Realism (mostly "Critical Realism")
with a slight touch of urban-like Romanticism.

But, unlike what many may think, political or propagandistic 'agenda'
wasn't necessarily present in all works.

You'd better re-post you inquiry in these groups:
