Kharkov, also known as Kharkiv or Charkov, is a city located in Ukraine. It holds a rich history and has witnessed significant events throughout the years. One such event was the offensive on the Eastern Front during World War II, depicted in a vibrant color lithograph. Another historical moment captured in art is "The Big Snowfall In Little Russia, " where soldiers bring food to the inhabitants stuck in Charkow. Moving away from war depictions, we find an exquisite piece of art showcasing the Gosprom complex (Palace of Industry) that stood proudly in Kharkov back in 1933. This architectural marvel created by Lissitzky reflects the city's industrial prowess. Delving into portraiture, we encounter two captivating paintings: one portraying I. A. Vasilyeva from 1789 by Levitsky and another depicting Princess Natalia Alexandrovna von Buxhoeveden from the 1790s by Borovikovsky. These artworks offer glimpses into the lives of notable individuals who once graced Kharkov with their presence. Transportation played a vital role in shaping Kharkov's development, as seen through Vinogradov's painting capturing its railway station dating back to 1892. The image transports us to an era when trains connected people and goods across vast distances. During times of conflict like the Russian Civil War in 1918, Kharkov fell under occupation by General Denikin's Volunteer Army. This historic event left lasting imprints on both its landscape and people. However, it wasn't just warfare that defined this city; education held great importance too. The Kharkov Library featured an "Illiterates Corner, " emphasizing efforts made to combat illiteracy and promote knowledge among all citizens. Lastly, we witness street battles unfolding within Kharkov itself as Red Army Russian infantry fiercely defend against Nazi forces during World War II.
