[1] Painted in 1967, Mothers, Sisters was devoted to the destiny of Russian women in the years of the Great Patriotic War.

It was created in five months, but its idea was born at the beginning of the Russo-German war in 1941 and based on the artist's personal knowledge.

[13] Using the innovative experience of Soviet painting, especially an advancement of Aleksandr Deyneka, Moiseyenko applied the method of assembly composition in Mothers, Sisters.

The expressions on their faces convey a variety of feelings: uncomplaining grief, fortitude and readiness for hardship and struggle.

[15] A well-known art-critic, Mikhail German, characterized Mothers, Sisters as one of the most powerful and tragic of Moiseyenko's paintings.
