The painting "Parade on the Red Square in Moscow" (1993) shows a festive parade on Red Square. The scene shows soldiers and sailors marching, accompanied by red flags and balloons, as well as a poster that, in a Hasidic manner, suggests the former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev through attributes. In the background, the famous buildings of Red Square in Moscow, including Saint Basil's Cathedral, can be seen. The colors of the painting are vibrant, with dominant tones like red, blue, green, and yellow.
The composition of the painting is centrally arranged. The layout uses a frontal perspective and creates a deep sense of space by layering the figures and buildings. The style of the work belongs to the naive painting of the post-Soviet period with a slight reference to Hasidic painting, due to Koslova's background.
Historically, the painting is set in the post-Soviet period, a time of political and social change after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
