This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of the Politician Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev" painted by Ivan Semyonovich Sorokin in 1951. The portrait captures the essence of Khrushchev, a prominent figure in Russian politics during the mid-20th century. Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev's remarkable journey is depicted through this powerful image.
