Kondraty Belov
Omsk Liberation from Kolchak
#2
The museum displays the painting ‘Omsk Liberation from Kolchak’ by Kondraty Belov.
 
On November 12, 1919, the Supreme Ruler of Russia Alexander Kolchak left Omsk. On November 14, the fifth Army of the Eastern Front under command of Mikhail Tukhachevsky took the city during the Omsk operation.
 
The 27th Rifle Division under command of Joseph Blazhevich occupied the city. Later it was named ‘Omskaya.’ The memoirs of a division commissar Andrey Kuchkin have been preserved:

The Omsk working class welcomed their liberators with open arms. There was a mass meeting on the city square.
#7
Tukhachevsky spoke at the meeting, and the commander of the 242nd Volga regiment Stepan Vostretsov read the greeting of the All-Bashkir Bolshevik Conference, just received and addressed to the 27th division.

The painter Kondraty Belov was born in 1900, and in 1919, he was already mobilized in the Kolchak’s army. During the war, he joined the Altai partisans and from 1920 to 1922 served in the 48th rifle regiment of the Fifth Red Army. In Irkutsk, Belov graduated from the regiment art school, and in 1921, he was sent to the school at the fifth Army political administration to continue his education.

From 1924 to 1928, Belov studied at Omsk College of Art and Industry in the polygraphic department. He graduated with a degree in printmaking and chromolithography. In 1929, Belov got accepted into the Omsk branch of the Association of Artists of Russia. He worked as the main artist in the House of the Red Army for a year, and for the next five years, he was a director, actor, and artist in the club of the Milling plant named in honor of Kliment Voroshilov.

Most of the artist’s paintings were dedicated to the events of the Russian revolution. The participants of the Red and White movements were models for his paintings: Mikhail Tukhachevsky, Alexander Kolchak, Ivan Strod, Károly Ligeti, Nestor Kalandarishvili, Roman von Ungern.

Belov said:
#5
Memory is such a thing, you just take a thread and it will lead you. And what I witnessed, what I heard, read, learned, has shown its other facet — a need to tell people about events of the Civil war, its heroes, how the revolution split the world and defined its poles. We should not forget our history… If you are concerned about the past, then you are concerned about the present.
