 "The First Tractor" by Vladimir Krikhatsky The First Tractor was the name of several paintings in the style of Socialist realism that portray the beginning of collectivisation in the USSR. Usually they depict the Fordson tractor, the first agricultural tractor, imported and then manufactured in the Soviet Union. This tractor was the best propaganda of the advantages of mechanisation and collectivisation of agriculture and thus can be seen in numerous posters and paintings of the time.
"The First Tractor" by Vladimir Yelchaninov Several works of other types of arts of the time also bear the title, The First Tractor.
- Vladimir Krikhatsky (Владимир Гаврилович Крихатский (Крыхацкий)), painting
- Ivan Mikhailin (Иван Алексеевич Михайлин), painting
- Vladimir Yelchaninov (Владимир Васильевич Ельчанинов), painting
- Boris Goller (Борис Голлер), play
- Lyudmila Kostina (Людмила Николаевна Костина), painting
- Victor Tsigal (Виктор Ефимович Цигаль), painting
- Valentin Chekmasov (Валентин Чекмасов), painting
- Maksim Pavlov (Максим Максимович Павлов), bone carving
- Tamara Abakeliya (Тамара Григорьевна Абакелия), painting
Still another feature of the time is related to the First Tractor. At these revolutionary times it was a fashion to invent new names for newborns by means of abbreviations, such as "Vladlen" for Vladimir Lenin, "Vilor" for Vladimir Ilyich Lenin — Organizer of Revolution. In this way, the following name was created (whether seriously or not): "Dazdrapertrak", Даздрапертрак (Да здравствует первый трактор!, Long live the First Tractor!).
