Such an interesting thread about Russian cultures
Thank You.
chiming in here,
thanks man, this thread shows all the beautiful facets of your country and is a welcome diversion from the one-dimensional view propagated everyday in the western gutter press.
Many russian artists have inspired me over the past years, esp. authors like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Gogol, Strugatsky Brothers and i absolutely love the movies by Andrei Tarkovsky.
so far i haven't seen any works by russian painters in here
time to add some pieces of russian realism, enjoy...
