Lenin - The reimagining of a Russian revolutionary
(16 Aug 2019) LEAD IN
The former Communist dictator and revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin was the architect of the Soviet Union.
Now an exhibition in Russia shows how local artists are grappling with his legacy of political repression and mass killings.
STORY-LINE:
In Russia there are few faces better known than that of Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov - or Lenin.
But for all that familiarity, few Russians have seen Lenin like this.
Here at this exhibition in Yekaterinburg, Lenin's face - once depicted throughout the former Soviet Union as part of a cult of personality - is being re-imagined.
There's Lenin as Pharaoh, Lenin as the French Sun King, and even Lenin as a craggy-faced part of the landscape.
In this work, the former Marxist revolutionary is re-imagined as Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator.
Sergey Martynaov of Yekaterinburg's Antimuseum of Computers and Games explains the how the image came about:
Our Lenin is a cyber-Lenin, he says.
The idea is about combining history and technology. Lenin is still not buried - he is in a mausoleum. So we explored ideas of eternal life and biotechnology in our work by representing Lenin as a cyber-machine, a kind of Terminator, one who's still alive and will stay alive.
For this exhibition, which is being shown at the Museum of Soviet Life in Yekaterinburg, a city of 1.5 million people east of the Urals, artists were given free rein.
They were invited to explore Lenin's legacy from many perspectives.
The final products are an invitation to locals to reflect.
Such personalities as Vladimir Ilyich, who changed the course of history, they have very strong energy. Such personalities will not be forgotten, and will attract attention for many many years, says Martynaov.
In her work, artist Irina Podkorytova reflects on the Soviet cult of personality that sprung up during Lenin's life and endured well after his death.
With this bust, she draws a comparison with the myths surrounding the French Sun King, Louis XIV.
The bust stands aside two small bottles of French perfume.
He is a dictator who tore Russia apart, millions and millions of people were killed, millions left their motherland, and all his French perfumes in the form of (nice stories about) Lenin in Gorki, Lenin with children, Lenin with peasants, that will not be able to drown out that bad smell from his deeds. He is a dictator, this is our history, that's how it is, Podkorytova says.
Here in his workshop, Yekaterinburg artist Ivan Mikheev is tackling the subject using a new medium for him.
Mikheev's signature style is post-apocalyptic, or gothic.
But in this work, he depicts the former Soviet leader as a craggy rock face - a part of the landscape of Russia's 20th century history.
Lenin here is a part of history, and in this case, in this work as part of nature already, in which we live taking it for granted, not even thinking this is that very man who laid a powerful foundation for our lives, he explains.
Artist Anastasia Postnikova focuses on how traces of the former Soviet Union that Lenin helped to build are still felt today.
Her Lenin bust sits behind barbed wire.
She is using the work to make a comment on her childhood, spent in a closed city in Russia's Sverdlovsk region, 70 kilometres north of Yekaterinburg.
For some of the other 12 artists who've made contributions, the preoccupation is how much things have changed since Lenin's time.
Marina Kozlachkova is using Lenin's bust as a canvas to paint in her favourite colours - green and orange.

Overnight procession marks 100th anniversary of last Russian tsar's death
(17 Jul 2018) Thousands of pilgrims began a procession on Tuesday to mark the 100th anniversary of the execution of Czar Nicholas II and his family.
The procession started out from the Church on the Blood, which was built on the site of the execution and was set to end at the site where the bodies were dumped some 21 kilometres (13 miles) away.
The procession was led by Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, which canonised the czar and his family as martyrs.
Russia's last czar, his wife and five children were executed by Bolshevik soldiers in Yekaterinburg 18 months after Nicholas abdicated in the February 1917 revolution.
They had been moved from detention in St. Petersburg to Siberia as the Russian Civil War raged.

American Mormons Buy Russian Dead Souls for Afterlife Polygamy - Russian TV News
Subscribe to Vesti News
It has turned out that MORMON POLYGAMISTS have been buying Russian dead souls since the early 90s. They literally buy them, for 7 cents per 5 names. The rumor has it, 15 to 20 million Russians have become Mormons postmortem. Why do Mormons need that? Zinaida Kurbatova tried to find the answer. Zinaida, good evening! Hello! Looks like a Gogol's story, doesn't it? It does. A short answer is that polygamy is widespread among Mormons. I will explain. Everyone remembers Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol: Chichikov was planning to get a loan against serfs, purportedly alive, who were actually dead. Later, the fraud was exposed. So, why do American Mormons need Russian dead souls, when the sect's representatives claim not to be interested in money? It turns out that their faith recommends that Mormon men have more than one wife. Even if the woman passed away a long time ago, she could become a Mormon spouse. Roman Silantyev, religious expert: The Mormon elite, who get their own planets after death, constitute about 15% of the congregation. I mean, those who have gone through all the necessary ceremonies. So, the elite intends to solve the problem with polygamy somehow. They couldn't find any other way to do that but to marry the dead. They buy data in archives. Vitaly Semyonov, genealogist: Every church member is obliged to conduct personal and community genealogical research. In short, Mormons took Chichikov's wrong way, and they did it long ago. Since the early 90s, the visitors from Utah have tried to get the personal data of Russians who were born before the October Revolution, and they did that many times. Mormons requested many archives for scanned birth certificates of Russian Empire subjects, in exchange for electronic equipment. In Yekaterinburg, their request was denied. Mormons were told that the relatives of the departed might be against that. What is more, the archive specialists found that the contract was no more than an audacious fraud. Alexander Kapustin, chief archivist: When we read the contract, which we were supposed to sign, we found out that they were going to grant us the equipment only for the time to scan the papers. As soon as the scanning would have finished, they would have taken both data and equipment, and that's it. It's a fact, that Mormons requested all Russian archives back then, but we don't know if all the archives denied the requests. Maybe, some of them finally acquired the equipment and provided the data. Anyhow, Mormons were turned away in Arkhangelsk, too. They requested 7,000 files dating from the 1780s to 1917. Nikolai Shumilov, chief archivist: That insulted the feelings of the followers of the Russian Orthodox faith. They didn't want Mormons to proselytize all their ancestors, going back to 18th century. Russians show great interest in their ancestry, in the history of their families. Some visit archives themselves, others hire specialists, private genealogy experts. Archives are mostly under-funded, they are left to self-sustainment. How can an archive earn money? Exactly, by drawing up genealogical trees. But in this case, archives will have to monopolize this market, keeping both amateurs and professionals away from the files. Vitaly Semyonov, genealogist: That story about malicious Mormons has been around since 2005. It comes up every time when someone demands that certain archives should start working properly, that they should open the access to personal files for everyone, like other Russian archives have done at last. Some say, that Mormons haven't become more active than usual, but regional archives want us to believe they have, for they can deny personal access to files on that ground, saying they doubt you came to work for yourself, and suspect you of working for the Mormons. Since 2002, in Arkhangelsk, visitors have no other choice but to order the files and, at some point they get a printout, but not an original document. Some time ago, the court ruled that, starting from 2020, the Arkhangelsk regional archive must start to operate like all other archives around the country. It's not clear whether they will adapt to the new rules. So, genealogists assume that archives may benefit from Mormon attacks. Zinaida Kurbatova on Mormons and dead souls.

Vladivostok - Moscow (May 17 - June 2, 2016)
Vladivostok to Moscow. --- Trans-Siberian Railway Trip, May 17 to June 2, 2016
Our journey started from Vladivostok. Yul Brynner who stared in The King and I was born here; His statue is in front of the house he was born.
The second stop was Irkutsk. The city's old quarter reminded me the scenes from the movie Doctor Zhivago with it's traditional wooden houses and the old trams. As an admirer of the Decembrists and their women, we visited Volkonsky and Trubestskoy's houses. One could tell the owners lived rather extravagant life during their time in the houses. White Army Admiral Alexander Kolchak's statue stands in front of Znamensky Monastery, at the spot he was executed. The monastery also has tomb of Grigory Shelekhov, who claimed Alaska for Russia, and that of the Decembrist wife Ekaterina Trubetskaya.
From Irkutsk, we reached to Lake Baikal via Listvyanka; The amazing beauty of this Lake has to be seen to believe!
Moving on from Irkutsk, the train stopped at Novosibirsk for about 50 minutes, just enough time to taxi to the city center to see the dramatic Lenin statue with flowing cloak.
The industrial city Yekaterinburg is famous for the Cathedral on the Blood, which was built at the location the last Tsar and his family were murdered. We took a local train and then walked for about 40 minutes, along a beautiful, primeval forest, to get to Ganina Yama, visiting the site the bodies of the Romanov family were secretly disposed of originally.
Next, we stopped at Kazan. Ivan the Terrible conquered the Tatars' capital in 1552. Russia's icon, the St. Basil's Cathedral of Moscow was built to commemorate the capture of Kazan. Like Yekaterinburg, Kazan is a financially well to do city compared with other places we visited along the route.
Another over night train took us to Nizhny Novgorod, which was the first of the six golden ring cities we visited during the trip: Nizhny Novgorod, Vladmir, Suzdal, Rostov-Velikiy, Sergiev Posad and Yaroslavl. Rostov-Velikiy is my favorite. It has an unparalleled view of the Kremlin from lake Nero. We also witnessed a Sunday church parade and a Mass in Rostov. Suzdal stands out as an unspoiled village town. Nizhny and Yaroslavl are actually very large cities, their top attractions are the peaceful and scenic river sides. Vladmire and Sergiev Posad both have some most photogenic scenes.
We saved Moscow for the last. Indeed, Moscow proves to be worthy of the capital of Russia! There are simply too many fascinating things to see! The metro is handy, on top of the fact itself is a bona-fide museum.
We visited many Orthodox churches during the trip. Many have magnificent interior. The choral music were serene, peaceful and simply amazing!
The monuments in the country are many. Don't miss Victory park, and all-Russia exhibition center, both of Moscow. The monuments in these two locations are just awe inspiring!
We took the west bound trains for the journey. The east bound direction is more popular with leisure travelers. We had to change trains in each location mentioned above except Novosibirsk. Long distance tickets were either purchased ahead of time ( or at the time of travel in the station. Mid to late May is the shoulder season, it's relatively easy to get train tickets. Local train tickets were easily bought on site.
Train station in big cities usually has resting room with single/double/dorm types and clean linen, charged by the hour. We stayed in such a resting room in Irkutsk as we got there in the early morning. The room was clean, quite and rather spacious.
In May of 2009, I visited Saint Petersburg. Please see the video for the visit:
