A grave illness and surgery for peritonitis
In early October 1903 Serov fell gravely ill and even wrote his will. The operation on 25 November at Chegodayev’s surgical clinic revealed a perforated stomach and peritonitis, but it went well and the artist survived.
30 October 1903
Elected a full member of the Academy of Arts
On 30 October 1903 Serov was elected a full member of the Academy of Arts; in April he had declined the post of “professor-leader” of a studio at the Higher Art School of the Academy.

Leaves the Academy after “Bloody Sunday”
Because of Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich’s role in the events of “Bloody Sunday”, Serov left the Academy of Arts in January 1905; the Grand Duke was its president. Under the impression of those events he painted “Brave Little Soldiers…” and “The Dispersal of a Demonstration by Cossacks in 1905”.
1906
19 works at the Russian exhibition of the Salon d’Automne
In 1906 the exhibition of Russian art that Diaghilev organised within the Salon d’Automne in Paris showed 19 works by Serov; earlier in the year he had taken part in the exhibition of members of the former “World of Art”.
