This is a large mural taking the whole side facade of a 17 storeys residential building in the suburbs of Minsk. Actually there are two similar buildings, both with murals of the same kind. They sand across the avenue from the modern National Library and the metro station Borisosvkiy Trakt.
Despite the indisputable socialist style, there are no obvious communist icons in this mural. Actually it looks almost religious in artist style, reminding of some Christian Orthodox iconography.
The art was executed with mosaic over the panels of concrete of the side facade of the building. As it is usual in Eastern Europe Communist countries, there is no signature or any data whatsoever about the mural.
