Untitled

Do we have any architects here to expand this article to include the Soc-Realist architecture? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 10:25, Sep 15, 2004 (UTC)

GDR

Someone added this:

It is also often overlooked that the GDR had its own movement of Socialist Realism, separate from that of the USSR. It was pivotal in the rise and fall of the GDR.

Without explanations it is meaningless and useless. Mikkalai 00:55, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

People's Republic of China

A recent edit just added the line

However The People's Republic of China still produce idealised poster propoganda, for example to promote their recent manned space launch successes.

which I like. Is there any chance we could get an illustration of one of these posters? I guess it could be included under 'fair-use'. -- Solipsist 14:36, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I deleted the last external link to some russian site because the site tried to install a trojan (virus) and crashed firefox repeatable.

Just a reminder that I wrote the lead and sections 1-4!

Yugoslavia

Yes there was Tito-Stalin split but still there are quite of few monuments, etc in social realist style. Not an expert but pretty sure even after split they were still influenced by social realism.Sourcerery (talk) 13:22, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Gender

I propose adding a “Gender” section to the Socialist Realism page. It would both be feasible and significant; there is an abundance of literature and discussion on the topic, and the portrayal of women in Socialist Realism was relatively unique compared to other forms of art. Further, due to the overtly political nature of Socialist Realism, the way gender roles were depicted in government commissioned works during different time periods reflected the attitude Socialist countries as a whole had towards women’s role in society.

I mostly wrote about the depiction of women during the pre-stalin + stalin eras, but i'd really encourage people to add something about LGBT representation - i'm curious if there were any paintings that reflected the period of greater acceptance in the 1920s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emilyzorro (talk • contribs) 21:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Taking cues from the Afrikaans page

Hello Wikipedians. I see the Afrikaans version is held in good regard, and from a cursory glance, seems to be quite a bit meatier. I propose lightly lifting from it here and there through human checking of machine translation, although if there are any bilingual editors who could aide in this process, that would be preferable. I will allow for a weeklong period for other editors to offer their opinions before I begin, and I will keep updates here as it goes on. puggo (talk) 21:00, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
