The USSR was big on hypocritical fight for peace. In Russian "peace" and "world" are homonyms (mir), so "miru mir" (peace to the world) was a popular slogan. Ironically, these slogans have to be dismantled now, as they contradict the new dogma (photo from Vytegra, near Vologda) https://t.co/P1YABllBlY
Reported by more than one outlet: Russians burned the museum of Maria Prymachenko (fan artbot account: @PrymachenkoArt). One of the most unique, wonderful, powerful Ukrainian artists, rooted in Ukrainian folk art tradition. They are erasing, ploughing over Ukrainian heritage. https://t.co/f5qjd4Hbz5
One of the coolest things about the Kyiv Sophia Cathedral is that it has quite a few secular frescos preserved on its stairwells. As far as I understand, these frescoes are the only (or close to that?) example of secular figurative visual art from 11 century Rus.
@Amezyarak This cannot possibly be from the 1950s! 50s were still "realistic", and look not too dissimilar to ones from the 40s (just more colorful). The one you posted above is probably not even 70s, but mid- to late- 1980s!
Also this area of slow speaking (high values of ArtDur = Articulation Duration) along the Polish border is super intriguing, as it mostly goes across standard dialect classification lines. (Seems to be Lausitzisch-Schlesich-Südmarkisch). Is there some Slavic influence, I wonder?

@d_razorenov @pepel_klaasa Вот есть две хорошие книжки про это всё. Я их правда обе не читал пока, но люди хвалят, особенно "Other minds" :)
Polish painter Jerzy Nowosielski (1923-2011) is mostly known for his Eastern Orthodox icons, but his abstract art is also lovely. I think I like it so much precisely because it follows iconographic principles of harmony and composition, centering the viewer into meditative stasis
