If we talk about the other works (post 32) mentioned in your evidence that Bogolyubov mediocre artist, it should be noted that they belong to 50 th year.

     Since the autumn of 1849 Bogolyubov started attending the classes of the Academy of Arts.

     The Academy of Arts Bogolyubov learns from MN Vorobiev, and VP Villevalde. But they did not have a hierarchy in such a strong influence, which was the famous artist, seascapes, I. Aivazovsky, although he was not Mr. Professor of the Academy of Arts.
  
     Nevertheless, painting pictures of the first hierarchy is dry and monotonous. Fabrics naive burdened with details that prevent him giving general; songs are "being played", and creative imagination with a touch of romanticism academic now and then replaces the artist strictly professional skill and dedication nature. Most of all, Bogolyubov remains the same in pictures: album of his early sketches, which is stored in the Kiev Museum of Russian Art, gives an idea of the immediacy of live young artist, on his sharp and humorous perception of reality.

     Pictures hierarchy of the academic period are typical examples of the species of painting the middle of last century. But they already felt a strong and persistent desire to study nature and the knowledge of life, to transfer the true and the real state of nature.

     In 1853, for the three types of Revel, performed by the program, and for the "View of St. Petersburg on the coast, Bogolyubov obtained the Grand Gold Medal, who gave the graduates of the Academy the right to a trip abroad.

     Promising-species painting like "skating on the Neva" (1854, Tretyakov Gallery), were only one side of creativity hierarchy, because even in the Academy of its apparent propensity to another type of battle painting. By the centennial of the Marine Corps artist created one of his first battle - "Battle of Athos July 19, 1807. The outbreak in 1853, the Crimean War gave him new material. Bogolyubov publishes Album exploits of the Black Sea Fleet in 1853 and 1854. " and receives an order from Nicholas I: to fulfill seven large paintings from the history of the Crimean War. Despite the hostilities, Bogoliubov, naval officer, produce to resign and immediately appoint a painter of the Naval Staff.

It is clear that these works can not bring in proof of insolvency of the artist, because they belong to apprentice period. In these works strongly influenced by Aivazovsky, but they already showed outstanding masters of the future. Such negligence on your part, Cyril Syzransky, does not befit a man who wishes to understand the artist's work and is not permissible for professional. Well, as evaluated in terms of morality, your militant amateurism and the obvious bias Let every Validating do myself.
