From the first years of the Soviet power, the government has paid attention not only to the portrait images of the party members, members of the military events and workers: pioneers at work, children making birdhouses, airplanes, reading books, walking in pairs or with their parents. Sculptors turned to the theme of childhood in relief compositions on the boxes and vases. Sculpture of the 1950's - 1990's was a form of agitation, propaganda, holiday and everyday events in the life of the country.
