<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 463369, member: 33&quot;]The <b>ВЛКСМ </b>on the Russian newspaper stands for <b>Всесою́зный ле́нинский коммунисти́ческий сою́з молодёжи</b> (known as the Komsomol), a political youth organization in the Soviet Union. It started in 1918. So while the painting may be older, it may have been put onto the stretcher much later, possibly in 1985, since April sees that date possibly on there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
