International contacts
Glasunow used his privileges as a Soviet state artist within the framework of the political possibilities of the time to build up the cultural dialogue with the West and the GDR . Contact with intellectuals and artists in Western Europe was to be kept discreet. In 1987, Glasunov traveled to Germany with the knowledge of Mikhail Gorbachev to visit the sculptor Arno Breker . At this meeting in May, the guest made a portrait of the sculptor who was 30 years older than him. A film document was created. He interviewed the former German state sculptor No. 1 about his experiences with Josef Stalin , who wanted to bring Breker back to the Soviet Union in 1945.
