We have sent an article by Alexander Morozov

In the vast hall of the three walls is placed a huge installation Vinogradova and B. Dubosarsky entitled "Seasons of Russian painting" (2007). Here are collected dozens of textbook pieces and characters in paintings by Russian and Soviet artists in such a general show. For example, the "Spring" Plastova close to Venus Kustodiev and bryullovskoy Bathsheba plus "girl with the nucleus" Samokhvalova. Or: in the space levitanovskoy "Golden Autumn" brought down the fascist Al Deineki falls in the blue river, on the banks of which, at the feet of Serovskaya Yermolova, Ivan the Terrible kills his son in a frenzy ... This whole notion of level is not much different from how we have fun intelligent old woman half a century ago. Famous names of composers, they piled in tales such as "Here come Schumann and Bach and Busoni began.

Khrushchev "intelligent thought":

...- I wonder who ordered, because the one who ordered, even if he pays, he shall faithfully fulfill the obligations. Let him hang himself on the neck.
Artwork should inspire people, it needs to elevate, inspire heroism of war, labor. And what's this? That pulls the donkey ass, stretching as in the days of old doomed to death.
But this picture? What they drink or what they do? - Do not understand. It is wrong, comrades. The government has no right to be amorphous, it should be a definite policy for the people. They say it is wrong to judge. But not for us to judge. For the time being the people we hold, we will carry out the policies that the people support.
Comrade Il'ichev is, of course, poor performance of the CC, poor performance of the ideological commission, a bad job of the Ministry of Culture, as if printing supports - help me find the specific facts ...."

I would, for instance, said people who are attracted to all kinds of daubs, not draw, do not create pictures, and just smear them: you, gentlemen, you say that we probably are not mature enough to understand your art. No, we, our people understand what is good and bad. And if these, if I may say "artists" who do not want to work for the people and with the people will be willing to go abroad to his ideological brethren, let them ask permission to leave, the same day will receive a passport and let them deployed to give them the freedom to "free" states, and let them there at least on their heads walk. But we have for the time being is "creativity" is considered improper, we will delay the policeman.
