Filipp Andreevich Malyavin (Russian: Филипп Андреевич Малявин; October 22 [O.S. October 10] 1869 – December 23, 1940) was a Russian painter and draftsman.[2] Trained in icon-painting as well as having studied under the great Russian realist painter Ilya Repin, Malyavin is unusual among the Russian artists of the time for having a peasant background. It is possibly due to this that his paintings often depict peasant life, and his most famous work, Whirlwind, shows peasant women dancing.
