Ivan Vladimirov, also John Wladimiroff (Russian: Владимиров, Иван Алексеевич) (10 January 1870 [O.S. 29 December 1869] – 14 December 1947) was a Russian artist: painter and graphic artist. During the wars of 1904–1916, he became known as a war artist ("batalist").^[1][2] Afterwards, his image has become controversial. In the Soviet Union, he was known for paintings that glorified the October Revolution.^[2] However, in the West and in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, he has become known for harshly critical imagery of the aftermath of the Revolution.^{[3][4][1][5][6][7]}
