metadata.value: The article examines the process of the birth and development of the mythologem “happy soviet
  childhood” in a children’s pictorial portrait. The author identifies two stages: the 1930s and
  1950s–1960s. In Stalin’s time, children’s images were depicted in the utopian world of a “bright
  future”. It was like the “paradise garden” in the “golden age”. Surrounded by natural abundance,
  small models looked at the world of “fathers” and served as educational models. After World
  War II, children’s images moved to the safe space of the house and family. Portrait painters emphasized
  the material well-being of Soviet childhood. Many toys and other children’s objects
  appear in the children’s portrait, the image of the children’s room is clearly drawn out. Paraphernalia
  served as markers of a “happy Soviet childhood” for portrait painters. It also addresses the
  problem of depicting the “disciplined” body of a Soviet child, the peculiarities of the interaction
  of the children’s image with the social and subject environment. The article notes that in the portrait
  artists allow themselves to depart from mythology, as they refuse to depict the ideologically
  significant theme of collective and collective work towards the dominance of the motive of the
  family, leisure and home holidays. This indicates the desire of portrait painters to show an individual
  beginning in the child as opposed to impersonal-social. Consequently, this mythology had
  a development dynamics.
