On the canvas, Surikov represents the victorious image of an unbroken woman who is being taken to a prison.
The painting “Boyarina Morozova” is written in bright, sonorous, colorful tones. Her story takes us to the 17th century.

Among the surrounding crowd there are those who think of it as crazy, but most experience it all as a tragedy. Many bow to her, looking at her with reverence.

Painting “Boyarina Morozova” reveals the mysterious and full of tragedy Russian soul. The hidden heroism that exists in it can awaken, if there is an idea, there are beliefs. Through painting Surikov was able to show how courageous and courageous a Russian person could be.
