Wall Decor Soviet-style. Bashny.Net

Who does not remember the "decorations"? They passed not one Soviet childhood!

Let's start with our hearts expensive carpets.

Carpets in the Soviet Union had a dual meaning: as a matter of life and as a work of art. To begin with, the carpet was a symbolic couple with crystal, talking about the high abundance of the owner of the apartment. If on the floor or placed on a wall carpet and varnished slide lomilas from vases and candy, so life is good and entered the mainstream of security.

Will be 14 photos and descriptions.





It concerns rather Brezhnev's time. After the war rugs on beds looked quite different: thin, with a fringe around the edges, not with geometric designs, and with frivolous or swans lightfoot deer. These carpets have liked to have everything.
On the other hand, apart from the aesthetic, the carpet on the wall and had practical value. This was especially true of thin walls Khrushchev. Naked wall was not able to protect the sounds of a neighbor's life. Carpet functioned as insulation.

That carpet spawned such an important household item, like a red plastic beater. Many had to wake up on Sunday by dimensional "shots" neighbors knocked out of the carpet.

The second important subsistence Soviet carpet - art. The best is the Turkmen, Azeri, Georgian, Armenian and Dagestan carpets. This is not ashamed to give the leader - in a museum of gifts to Stalin, for example, there were hundreds of them, and most - with skillfully woven face best friend polar.

This subsistence carefully cultivated. Each year, arranged the exhibition, published catalogs and art books. But the art of carpet weaving little interest to the average Soviet citizen, the first snow rolled in a tube carrying carpet into the courtyard to beat.
Oh, how many unforgettable moments gave us this work of art before going to bed. As we carefully trace the thin finger of his children's intricate patterns.

In the mid-80s image of our hairy friends dramatically changed. Perhaps influenced by the then popular culture headed by the favorite of all women Mikhail Boyarsky with his "Ginger Knight," which we all mowed purple eye. A squeaky Saltykov added, before missing the stirrup with his "horses apples».

Any weaver, cook, electrician and Turner were not alien to this art! The apartment walls are decorated with pictures of ... well, like the picture? Reproductions Vasnetsov, Shishkin, Repin. Other artists perhaps they did not know.
