I'm sure many of We remember - slender ranks of prefabricated houses, broad avenues, the same Doctor Hospital as conveyors of health ", and factories and plants again, collective visits to the potatoes in the middle belt and the cotton fields in Central Asia, the red banners and streamers bearing slogans like: "The party - Intelligence, honor and conscience of our epoch ", or" more implementations of scientific and technological progress - a life "... funny, is not it? a couple of weeks ago was in Naryan-Mar, a former stronghold of the former kommunichesticheskogo building, where the tundra is not clear - why should the Soviets have set up wood mills, hastily deceased at the time of the wild capitalism of banal reasons - lack of raw materials. and in this symbolic place - I was first after the crash Soviet reality could be seen in Naryan-Mar on and not waiting for communism Huts eminent "more introductions ..."
Imagine - temperature - 35 gradussov, POKAS wooden hut in a godforsaken place where there is little public benefit in the city where the main fishing was the bureaucracy at the regional level (control seems to tundra, the people there are not more than forty thousand). And here, as if in mockery - Three decades ago, nailed board, carefully extracted from it "more ...». from what he saw shiver rolls on his back ...
... shudder swept back and after visiting the exhibition and the water flows podoldom » opened on December 17 in Winery. The exhibition is devoted to contemporary art North Korea is perhaps the most closed countries in the world. Of course, I did not expect to see at an exhibition of Korean masterpieces of early expressionism, was feeling that the show will be filled propagandiyskoy painting and political posters. Feeling I was not fooled, I only wanted to "enjoy" irony of immersion in our recent past.
However, they saw I was confused. "The Koreans in the fight and after it" - so I titled this exhibition. Dozens of paintings with live, labor and ideological exploits them and the Koreans in the relaxing moments - happy, full-bodied life rejoiced. Ksozhaleniyu, I have not bought the exhibition catalog, but because I can not remember the name of a single leaf. But the general outline of the exhibition is clear - absolutely ideological painting a sort of collection of errors of the Soviet period. Cynical and mendacious canvases on a happy present ordinary Koreans, they may be no better than the Soviet chronicles Khrushchev-Brezhnev era - virgin, BAM, Angarsk mine, and the Sayan-Shushenskaya GES, though postponed for Korean watercolors. I thought - "well what is the ... one and the patterns are the same ... Where is the historical memory? After all, stark utopianism of such a model of political and economic systems. "
Here I recalled the Naryan-Mar, with its banner on POKAS shack as an epitaph sunk into oblivion Russian communism, it is no different of shiny silk mat contemporary Korean art, among them only 30 years difference. What will North Korea esperiment communism, I think we all know in our lifetime.
