In the 1960s and 1970s life of Nikolai Pozdneev, like many other artists, clearly divided into two seasons: a city period from a late fall through April and countryside period from April to November. Life in the city consisted of putting the customer and works to find new art contracts, Art Show, Artists' Union, contacts with friends and neighbors of the city art studio. Summertime at first of all is creativity, paint from life.
Living and working at the "Academichka", Nikolai Pozdneev not only painted many of his best works but also formed his unique individual manner thanks to which his works become a phenomenon in the Leningrad Union of Artists. All the subsequent bright, brief, and dramatic fate of Nikolai Pozdneev was closely associated with the picturesque surroundings of the Academic Dacha and Tver lands. He had lived and worked in the village of Maliy Gorodok in the house of his wife Vera Vasilievna.
