Johanson and others, who taught during his studies at the Moscow art Institute (1936-1945), he combined the traditions of Russian impressionism with modern artistic thinking.

The gift of a special perception of color, the gift of a colorist, founded from birth, became quite obvious for his fellow students, and for teachers. Victor Sorokin’s thesis “Samarkand landscape” was greeted with applause from the members of the State Commission, which was chaired by p. Konchalovsky. In 1945, the work was exhibited at the all-Union art exhibition. This was the basis for the adoption in 1946, V. S. Sorokin, to the Union of artists of the USSR. In 1948, the artist left Moscow and began teaching at the Yelets art school. After the dissolution of the school, Sorokin went to Lipetsk.
