Portrait of Georgiy Malenkov, black-and-white tapestry in
silk,
early 1950s-1955, made in People's Republic of China. A
portrait of the Stalin's heir apparent and Soviet premier
immediately after Stalin's death in 1953. Within two years,
Malenkov was outfoxed and edged out by Nikita Khrushchev in
the
Kremlin power struggle; two years later, was sent into a
virtual exile after an unsuccessful attempt to depose
Khrushchev. Since Malenkov was the Soviet premier for just a
short time and then not only lost all his posts, but was
eventually expelled from the Communist Party, few of his
period
portraits have survived to our days. In excellent condition.
