Vladimir Aleksandrovich Serov (Russian: Влади́мир Алекса́ндрович Серо́в; 21 July 1910 – 19 January 1968) was a Soviet painter, illustrator and teacher.

[1] During the Second World War, Serov stayed in the besieged Leningrad and, as president of the Leningrad Union of Artists, took part in the work of the artist group Boyevoi Karandash (Fighting Pencil).

In 1960, he was First Secretary of the Board of the Union of Artists of the RSFSR and served in that position until his death.

[1] Servov's paintings depicted historical-revolutionary themes, portraits, landscapes and still lifes.

In the artist's paintings, dedicated to the events of the October Revolution and the first years of Soviet power, historical events are interpreted in the spirit of official Soviet historiography of the 1940s and 1960s.
