PEOPLE'S ARTIST

'People's Artist' is a honorary title in the Soviet Union, Union republics, in some other Eastern bloc states (and communist states in general), as well as in a number of post-Soviet states, modeled after the title of the People's Artist of the USSR.
The term is confusingly used to translate two different Russian language titles: "народный артист" (awarded in performing arts, see e.g., ) and "народный художник" (awarded in some visual arts: painting drawing, and photography, see e.g., ). Both titles are awarded for exceptional achievements in the corresponding arts.
Some other arts gave rise special titles: People's Architect, People's Writer, People's Poet.
