The Soviets embraced most of the 19th century Russian painters who did genre studies of rural serfs and urban workers, especially ons depicting the wretched living conditions. Rarer were anti-clerical paintings. Anti-clerical studies like "the Village Sermon" (1861, Moscow, Tret’yakov Gallary) made Perov a particular favorite of Soviet authorities who were doing heir best to destroy the Orthadox church. HBC sees "Tea-Party at Mytishchi near Moscow" in 1862 and even more seering inditetment of the clergy.
