Alexander Samokhvalov’s picture-portrait is closely in line with the much-trumpeted theme of “friendship of the peoples” popular in film and song. Depicted in close-up, against a background of the other female delegates, a blonde Russian girl and a dark Muslim beauty are symbols of this friendship. The festive atmosphere is underscored by the smiling faces and the ringing colour combinations, dominated by tones of red.
