Impressions of the war and the revolution, numerous stories of participants in the events of 1905, the heroism of Russian sailors left a deep mark in the soul of the artist. One of the main themes of his work was the revolutionary events in the Black Sea. A singer of courage of Soviet sailors, he creates a number of paintings dedicated to the years of the Great Patriotic War.
In 1919, LO Muchnyk joined the Red Army and took part in the battles against the White Poles and Petliurists. After the end of the Civil War, he returned to Odessa and continued his studies at the newly established Art Institute with the famous artist Pavel Gavrilovich Volokidin.
Already in his student years, Muchnik took part in exhibitions of the KK Kostandi Society. In 1934, at the VI All-Ukrainian Exhibition in Kyiv, his painting "Supply of provisions to the battleship Potemkin in 1905." was shown. An uncontrollable desire to help the insurgents of Potemkin, and the spectator is acutely aware of the shadow of the Odessa proletariat in the first months of the 1905 revolution.
Three years later, a second painting by O. Muchnik appeared, devoted to the same exciting theme of the revolution, The Uprising on the Cruiser Ochakov (1937). Central to the work is the romantic image of the leader of the uprising, Lieutenant Schmidt.
From 1949 to 1957 LO Muchnyk worked on the monumental canvas "Insurgent Potemkin carried Valinchuk's body ashore."
