Intussen, in het leven van Viktor Vasnetsov
Het hele leven1912
A patent of nobility from Nicholas II
In 1912 an imperial decree granted him, for his artistic merits, “the nobility of the Russian Empire with all his descendants”; in 1914 he received the rank of actual state councillor.
1914
His last visit to Vyatka
In 1914 he came to Vyatka for the last time and visited the theological school and seminary where he had studied.
1915
A sketch of the “bogatyrka”, the future budenovka
In 1915 he took part in designing a military uniform for the Russian army’s victory parade in Berlin and Constantinople; he is credited with creating the “bogatyrka”, a hat reproducing the cone-shaped helmets of Kievan Rus’ — the future budenovka.
1917
He rejects the revolution but stays in Russia
He did not accept the October Revolution, calling himself a convinced monarchist “on the ancient Russian principles”; his nobility and ties with the old regime found no favour with the Bolsheviks, but he did not emigrate and went on living and working in Moscow.
after 1917
After the revolution: church paintings to the Tretyakov
After the October Revolution he advocated moving some of the religious paintings from churches to the Tretyakov Gallery; even before the revolution he had been a trustee of the gallery and gave a significant part of his income to the State Historical Museum, a large part of whose collection was acquired with his money.
