He is countering what became propaganda taking it back to space of constructivist reflection. He confronts the tradition of art with the rhetorics of the power system. Between 1974 and 1987 Akhunov worked on a series of collages and drawings in which he was using fragments of \u0026ldquo;Leniniana\u0026rdquo;, one of the official ideological types of Soviet realism art, created to perpetuate the memory of Lenin. In his collages Leniniana (1977-82), Akhunov uses reproductions from magazines, newspapers, albums and posters to create an imaginary political propaganda, in which he expresses his interest for the Soviet phenomenon of mass idolization with a mixture of irony and fascination.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003eTussen 1974 en 1987 werkte Akhunov aan een reeks collages en tekeningen waarin hij fragmenten gebruikt van \u0026lsquo;Leniniana\u0026rsquo;, ideologisch tekst- en beeldmateriaal in de typische stijl van het sovjetrealisme, gecre\u0026euml;erd om de herinnering aan Lenin in stand te houden.
