Another example of how Ukrainian authors still blindly stamped as "Russian", without recognizing that fact that Ukraine was occupied by Ruzzian empire. Here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokklubb

Ukrainian writer Nikolai Gogol simply listed for country "Russia". While for other books properly listed for their exact countries.
Recognizing the fact that Ukraine survived centuries of occupation by Ruzzian Empire should happen in such places of Wikipedia as well.

Nikolai Nevrev, 'Protodeacon proclaiming longevity at the merchant's birthday party' (1866)

#art #Russian #realism #SocialCritique #RussianEmpire #Cleegy #Capitalism #Authoritarianism #Tsarism #painting #artist #alcoholism

This is what he is doing in the painting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychronion More about the artist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Nevrev About the painting (https://artalebrio.com/news/view/905): This picture has another title: "Father Prokadim Vonmiglasov announces many years". Of course, the name and surname are fictitious and ironic. Prokadim comes from the word censer, and Vonmiglasov is a combination of two Old Slavonic words: vonmi - to listen and glasov - voice. But it is unlikely that you will need to listen here, rather you will want to block your ears, as you do when watching some of our TV programs. According to the story, a rich merchant invited the priest to celebrate his name day, and the priest gladly accepted. The clergy were not paid a salary, and they earned their living by charging for church ceremonies and donations. The priest could not refuse such a tempting job, and he tried very hard. Nevrev slightly reduced the level of irony by depicting him in blue robes instead of the usual black, as priests usually wore. That is, this is a fictional character and has nothing to do with real priests. By the way, the most grateful spectators, that is, the merchant and his guests, are tipsy, but the merchant's wife has one ear plugged, unable to listen to the priest's singing, and her eldest son does not take much pleasure in playing music.

A friend in Montreal asked me to dig up links for specific Belf's Rumanian Orchestra tunes for a jam session he's leading in a while, but just to quote something Mark Rubin said years ago, the best route to developing an authentic klezmer sound is to listen closely to Belf's Rumanian Orchestra and try to play like them. from there you'll already be far ahead of the competition💡🤓

The image displays a picturesque view of an urban landscape overlooking a large body of water, which appears to be the Black Sea. The scene captures various structures including buildings with sloped roofs and what seems like residential houses clustered together in close proximity, indicative of historical architecture that might date back several decades ago. In the background, hills rise gently against a soft-hued sky. Prominently placed within this coastal town is a clock tower standing tall among other smaller buildings. To the right, there's a tree with dense foliage partially obscuring part of the view. The overall atmosphere suggests an old photograph possibly from around late 19th to early 20th century based on architectural style and quality. The image conveys a sense of tranquil daily life in what appears to be a small town or city, offering glimpses into residential spaces and maritime activity with ships anchored near the shoreline. This photo is part of an extensive collection that documents views from various locations within Russia (including present-day Ukraine) during its Russian Empire era. The text on the image indicates it's labeled "831.P.Z - LA ORIMETE.FITA" which suggests a specific series or classification, possibly related to geography and historical documentation.

Moscou. Le Monastère Wossnesensky , ca. 1890-1906 Convents,Orthodox churches,Kremlin (Moscow, Russia),Russia Moscow

loc.gov/pictures/item/20176603

The image depicts a historical scene from the Kremlin in Moscow, featuring architectural elements of Russia. In this illustration there is an orthodox church with green domes and gold crosses on top which indicates that it's possibly built during Russian Empire or Soviet era as shown by its style. Additionally, we can see part of another building which seems to be made out of red brickwork suggesting a fortress-like structure typical for the Kremlin. There are also ornate towers visible in the image with clock faces and cross symbols at their peaks indicating religious significance. The overall color tone is slightly muted possibly because it's an old photograph or painted, as suggested by its style which has characteristics similar to Photochrom prints used during late 19th- early 20th century. The illustration also shows a few people in period attire walking along the street and guards standing near what looks like fortifications. The caption "Moscou - Le Monastère Wossnesensky , ca. 1890-1906" suggests that this particular monastery is named after someone called 'Wossnesensky' and was captured around early to mid-late nineteenth century based on the date range provided in Russian Cyrillic script which translates roughly as such. The image provides a glimpse into Russia's past, reflecting its religious architecture, urban planning during those times, societal structure through attire of people present.
