How did social and political events influence the art produced in russia?

There were many times in Russian history where Russia was influenced by Europe and Western traditions. After the reforms of Peter I or Peter the Great, most Russian artworks followed western art traditions. However, there were a couple of Russian artworks that have nothing to do with any other culture. For example, the Matryoshka doll, which is a Russian nesting doll, can be used to depict a Soviet leader or anything else.

Hope this helped :D
