The second “Fair” was written by Kustodiev in 1908. Compositionally, it is built as a view of the fairground crowd from the inside of the shop with painted clamps, Russian abacus on the wall, a teapot with a knitted bagel on the counter, and a figure of a seller depicted from the back. Man is here characterized through his things. Kustodiev sharpened, thickened the features of “Russianness” in the image of a fair, but the use of hyperbole for this purpose was not only his artistic method, life itself sometimes suggested such a path to him. In the painting “Fair” of 1908, on the right, a cart with a whole mountain of bast shoes is depicted, which is perceived by the viewers of our time as a kind of exaggeration, Kustodiev’s desire to sing the praises of the generous “redundancy” of the Russian fair. This is true, but there is another side to the matter. The Kostroma province was famous for the production of bast shoes from elm bast. Only at the fair in Kineshma, one hundred thousand bast shoes were sold per year, since this cheap, comfortable and soft peasant shoes, known in Russia since the 10th century, were in great demand due to their rapid wear. She was really brought to fairs in an incredible amount. The artist did not invent, but only emphasized this abundance of fairgrounds.

The events of 1905 could not pass by Kustodiev, and the experiences of his sensitive soul were expressed in the work “Entry”, written in Moscow in 1905.

During this time, the artist actively collaborated with revolutionary-minded magazines such as Buggle, one of the most famous periodicals of the early 20th century, and after its closure with Adskaya Pochta, a satirical monthly magazine published in St. Petersburg.

Kustodiev put in them sharp, evil caricatures of tsarist officials, drew illustrations, including his work “Entry”.

The artist, who was acutely worried about the defeat of the revolution, speaks in allegorical form about “Bloody Sunday” and the brutal suppression of the workers’ uprising in 1905. Against the background of an alarming, flaming red sky, we see cold gray houses, soldiers shooting at demonstrators, and above all this – death, which gathers the dead without looking at their beliefs.
