A post about writing and that same book universe

I can’t call my writing anything other than ��writing,” because it doesn’t feel like something serious (in my native language, this sentence makes more sense haha). Moreover, I had a long break from activity, 3-4 years exactly. But I can’t refuse to stain paper with fantasies and words. This is essentially my whole life. In 2021, at the height of my hyperfixation on the comic book universe of Bubble and Major Thunder, I came up with an idea for an urban fantasy “novel.” The action takes place in Moscow, in its hidden ancient streets and alleys, in houses and educational institutions hidden from prying eyes. Stories about the life of evil spirits in modern realities, many confrontations, riots, clarification of relations of superiority of one species over another. In short, everything we love. Unfortunately, in 2021-22 I could not fully take on the implementation of the idea. I had many different everyday problems that were a priority. Solving them, I didn’t have enough strength for everything else. But I didn’t give up the idea of a “novel” for a second. Over the course of almost 3 years, the idea turned into a whole universe, which acquired its own rules, laws, history, heroes and villains. Each hero has his own personal story, which is intertwined with the other. I created a full-fledged World based on ours, which I am very proud of. Now I count about 5 full-fledged individual stories or “novels”. For some stories I have almost the entire skeleton of the plot ready, for others it’s still in its raw form. If we talk about their “working” titles, then these are: Izmailovo Witches, Moscow Riot, Olympic Academy, Vampire Saga or the comic Vampires in Rus' and The Gloom of Old Estates. I really hope that the names are of interest to you. Now my plans are to structure everything, understand the chronology of each story, write something like an annotation and get to work. Here I will post all sorts of sketches or links to sketches, collages with the aesthetic atmosphere of the characters, playlists.

P.S. English is not my native language, but I will try to improve it with time.

The Bulldozer Exhibition (Russian: Бульдозерная выставка) was an unofficial art exhibition on a vacant lot in the Belyayevo urban forest (Bitsa Park) by Moscow and Leningrad avant-garde artists on 15 September 1974. The exhibition was forcefully broken-up by a large police force that included bulldozers and water cannons, hence the name.

It was held on a vacant lot, officially part of an urban forest in Belyayevo. Attendance consisted of approximately twenty artists and a group of spectators that included relatives, friends of the artists, friends of the friends and some Western journalists. The paintings were installed on makeshift stands made out of dump wood.

The organizer Oscar Rabin told in an interview in London in 2010: "The exhibition was prepared as a political act against the oppressive regime, rather than an artistic event. I knew that we'd be in trouble, that we could be arrested, beaten. There could be public trials. The last two days before the event were very scary, we were anxious about our fate. Knowing that virtually anything can happen to you is frightening." Rabin was arrested and punished with expulsion from Russia, but was allowed to leave with his family to Paris.

Despite the minor size of the event it was considered by the authorities as very serious. They marshalled a large group of attackers that included three bulldozers, water cannons, dump trucks and hundreds of off-duty policemen. Officially, the group was supposed to be "gardeners" expanding the urban forest, who reacted in spontaneous outrage to the offense against their proletarian sensibilities. It was never denied, though, that they got their orders from the KGB.

The attackers destroyed the paintings, beat and arrested the artists, spectators and journalists. One of the most dramatic scenes was Oscar Rabin who went through the exhibition hanging to the blade of the bulldozer. One of the attackers, militsia lieutenant Avdeenko, memorably shouted at the artists: "You should be shot! Only you are not worth the ammunition ..." ("Стрелять вас надо! Только патронов жалко...").

Rabin later recounted the horror of seeing art crushed and artists arrested: "It was very frightening … The bulldozer was a symbol of an authoritarian regime just like the Soviet tanks in Prague." Two of his own paintings – a landscape and a still life – were among those flattened by bulldozers or burned by the invading KGB.

After the event was widely publicized in the Western media, embarrassed authorities were forced to allow a similar open air exhibition in the Izmailovo urban forest two weeks later on 29 September 1974. The new exhibition of works of 40 artists was held for four hours and was visited by thousands of people (the numbers cited differ from one and a half thousand to twenty-five thousand). A participant in the exhibitions, Boris Zhutkov, has said that the quality of the Izmaylovo paintings was much lower than the paintings in Belyayevo, since in the original exhibition the artists showed the best paintings they had only to have most of them destroyed. The four hours in the forest of the Izmailovo exhibition has often been remembered as "The Half-day of Freedom." The Izmailovo exhibition in turn gave way to other exhibitions of nonconformist art which were very important in the history of modern Russian art.

National Bolshevik arrested for campaigning against elections reported torture to the Ministry of Internal Affairs

This was reported by associates of Leonid Mazharov, who was detained for posting “This is not an election” stickers.

"In the department, where they didn’t even allow a lawyer to defend the National Bolsheviks, police officers beat Leonid, used a stun gun, and stuck pencils into his fingers. He managed to tell his girlfriend and comrades about this near the court. Afterwards a protocol was drawn up against him under Art. 20.1 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (“Petty hooliganism”). The Izmailovsky District Court of Moscow decided to arrest Leonid for 15 days,” the publication says.

It is alleged that the torture was committed at the Izmailovo police station in Moscow.
