The Three Bogatyrs, (1898) was among the popular works by Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926). The three noble warriors of Kievan Rus, whose names appear in the byliny, or Slavic narrative poems, include, in the center Ilya Muromets, a 12th-century warrior who defended Rus from invaders from the steppes and who was later sanctified; Dobrynya Nikitich (left); and the youngest of the three bogatyrs, and Alyosha Popovich (right). The colors in the miniature appear paler and more greenish than in the original painting, which is now in the State Tretyakov Gallery. That Reinhold Glière (1875-1956), who incorporated themes from Kievan Rus into his music, should have adapted the tale of these three bogatyrs for his Symphony No. 3 ("Ilya Muromets") in B minor, op. 42 (1911), attests to the popularity of this subject.

The Morning in a Pine Forest became very popular, being reproduced on various items, including the "Clumsy Bear" chocolates by Krasny Oktyabr.
The Morning in a Pine Forest (Утро в сосновом лесу) is a painting of 139 cm × 213 cm (55 in × 84 in) by Russian artists Ivan Shishkin and Konstantin Savitsky. The bears were painted by Savitsky, but the art collector Pavel Tretyakov effaced his signature, stating that "from idea until performance, everything discloses the painting manner and creative method peculiar just to Shishkin", so the painting is now sometimes credited solely to Shishkin.
According to one poll, the painting is the second most popular in Russia behind Bogatyrs by Viktor Vasnetsov.
It is believed that Shishkin painted the pine trees near Gorodomlya Island which located on Lake Seliger in the Oblast of Tver, Russia.
