Dedicated to wonderful person, my virtual friend Patriczia (
Thanks to Mykhailo Mykhailovych Tarkhan(Михайло Михайлович Тархан) or MIKHAIL MIKHAILOVICH TARKHANOV(Михаил Михайлович Тарханов), Ukrainian and Russian Soviet Avant-garde graphic artist.
Born in Zin'kiv in Ukrainian or Zen'kov in Russian (Poltava Region, Ukraine). Lived in Ukraine, then in Moscow. Tarkhanov began to study art in 1905, when he entered the famous Stroganoff Art Institute (which later became VKhUTEMAS) in Moscow. His schoolmates during this period included D. Burliuk, V. Mayakovsky, and other artists who soon became prominent in the Russian avant-garde. He graduated and received his M.A. in Applied and Decorative Arts in 1915.
He was called to the Russian Army in Tzaritzin on the Volga river in 1916 as an artist-topographer. In April 1918 he was hospitalized and released and came back to Moscow.He was called to the Russian Red Army again in July 1919 and served in the First Moscow Reserve Division through January 1921. In 1921, he became a draftsman at the Moscow District Military-Engineering Committee.
Tarkhanov continued his studies at VKhUTEMAS, the famous school of Russian Avant-garde art from 1921 through 1927 under such prominent Russian Avant-garde artists as Vasili (Wassily) Kandinsky, Vladimir Favorsky, and Nikolay Kupreyanov
Friend of V. Favorsky and V. Kandinsky. Exhibited in 1919 (Moscow) with Rodchenko; in 1926 (Moscow) with Kliun, Lissitzky; in 1931 (Paris) with Altman, Klutsis, Lebedev, Popova (p/h), Telingater, etc.
Mikhail Tarkhanov created a unique and previously undiscovered series of non-objective water-based and starch-textured compositions, which he called Picturesque-Textured Improvisations.
While Tarkhanov was widely known for his works in book design, the restrictions of Socialist Realism from 1932/1933 until his death prohibited him from openly exhibiting any of abstractions.
After the Soviet Union dictated Socialist Realism as its official style, abstract work became dangerous. Tarkhanov made secret abstractions at the same time as his official work for various Soviet institutions. Only a small number of people knew about his underground activity. Avant-garde style still was tolerated then for exhibition design, and many prominent figures, including Lissitzky, Suetin, Stenberg, and Klutsis, turned to that field. Tarkhanov worked internationally and nationally, designing Soviet exhibits organized by VOKS in Paris, London, and New York, as well as domestic exhibits at the State Literary Museum, the Rare Book Museum, and others.
Tarkhanov's distinguished pedagogic career began in 1929. He was appointed to lead the various graphic disciplines at the Moscow Polygraphic College in 1930-1941. He was professor at the Institute of Applied and Decorative Arts (MIPIDI) in 1944-1952, etc.
In 1947 M. Tarkhanov was nominated to the Senior Lecturer position.
Tarkhanov gave numerous lectures on art including lectures in State Academy of Artistic Sciences.He also wrote various articles including articles for VKhUTEIN and the periodicals Polygraphic Production
Tarkhanov's works are recognized at home and abroad. They may be seen in the former Soviet Union in the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, and other major museums. Several years ago the Getty Center, known for its collections of Avant-garde materials such as the Lissitzky archive, Bauhaus works and others, acquired 31 works by Mikhail Tarkhanov.
His works were in
State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow)
State Russian Museum (Leningrad - St. Petersburg)
State (Pushkin) Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow)
Kherson Museum of Fine Arts (Kherson, Ukraine) 15 works
Kirgiz State Museum of Fine Arts (Frunze, Kirgizia)
Semipalatinsk Museum of Fine Arts (Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan)
Tula Museum of Fine Arts (Tula, Russia)

Frontline at Znamenka: Watch in the name of Culture
We kindly ask you to distribute this film.
On 28 April 2017 Maliy Znamensky lane was marked by a Frontline, an invisible line which divided the 26 year history of the International Center of the Roerichs (ICR) into the period “before” and “after”.
In the past the International Center of the Roerichs and its non-governmental Museum named after Nicholas Roerich were recognized internationally, they organized travelling exhibitions, international scientific conferences, issued books and magazines... And now the Museum is destroyed by the Ministry of Culture and the Roerichs heritage seized.
It means that there should be a non-governmental control over the actions of the intruders here at Frontline. The documentary covers the history of the establishment of the non-governmental Museum named after Nicholas Roerich, its heyday and barbarous destruction. Please, help to spread the documentary, so that more people would know the truth about an unprecedented tragedy of our culture.
***
Foes are currently trying to destroy the International Center of the Roerichs under the pretext of protection of state interests. They are attempting to liquidate this non-governmental organization through forced bankruptcy by imposing enormous taxes and fines amounting to 60 million rubles. On October 29, 2019, the Arbitration Court of Moscow is to hold a hearing, in the outcome of which the International Center of the Roerichs might be declared bankrupt.

All Episodes of Forgotten Leaders
The project provisionally titled “Forgotten Leaders” is a series of seven films, each featuring an individual from the leaders of the Soviet state in power during the time period from 1920 to 1953. Each episode is a filmed portrait depicting the story of life, political and public activities of its hero. The heroes of “The Forgotten Leaders” are
individuals ambiguous from the perspective of the Russian and world’s history and odious and often sharply negative in the eyes of public consciousness. Unfortunately, when labeling, we often forget that “each individual
is a tangle of contradictions” and that “history is written by the victors”. Seven men. Seven lives. One era. What was behind their decisions and at what was the price they paid for their deeds?

SUMMARY
=======
Urartu (), which corresponds to the biblical mountains of Ararat, is the name of a geographical region commonly used as the exonym for the Iron Age kingdom also known by the modern rendition of its endonym, the Kingdom of Van, centered around Lake Van in the Armenian Highlands.
That a distinction should be made between the geographical and the political entity was pointed out by König. The geographical area corresponds to the mountainous plateau between Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the Iranian Plateau, and the Caucasus Mountains, later known as the Armenian Highlands.
The written language that the kingdom's political elite used is referred to as Urartian, which appears in cuneiform inscriptions in Armenia and eastern Turkey. It is unknown what language was spoken by the peoples of Urartu at the time of the existence of the kingdom, but there is linguistic evidence of contact between the proto-Armenian language and the Urartian language at an early date (sometime between the 3rd—2nd millennium BC), occurring prior to the formation of Urartu as a kingdom.The kingdom rose to power in the mid-9th century BC, but went into gradual decline and was eventually conquered by the Iranian Medes in the early 6th century BC. The geopolitical region would re-emerge as Armenia shortly after. Being heirs to the Urartian realm, the earliest identifiable ancestors of the Armenians are the peoples of Urartu.

SUMMARY
=======
The USSR anti-religious campaign of 1928–1941 was a new phase of anti-religious persecution in the Soviet Union following the anti-religious campaign of 1921–1928. The campaign began in 1929, with the drafting of new legislation that severely prohibited religious activities and called for a heightened attack on religion in order to further disseminate atheism. This had been preceded in 1928 at the fifteenth party congress, where Joseph Stalin criticized the party for failure to produce more active and persuasive anti-religious propaganda. This new phase coincided with the beginning of the forced mass collectivization of agriculture and the nationalization of the few remaining private enterprises.
Many of those who had been arrested in the 1920s would continue to remain in prison throughout the 1930s and beyond.
The main target of the anti-religious campaign in the 1920s and 1930s was the Russian Orthodox Church, which had the largest number of faithful. Nearly all of its clergy, and many of its believers, were shot or sent to labour camps. Theological schools were closed, and church publications were prohibited. More than 85,000 Orthodox priests were shot in 1937 alone. Only a twelfth of the Russian Orthodox Church's priests were left functioning in their parishes by 1941.In the period between 1927 and 1940, the number of Orthodox Churches in the Russian Republic fell from 29,584 to less than 500.The campaign slowed down in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and came to an abrupt end after the commencement of Operation Barbarossa. The challenge produced by the German invasion would ultimately prevent the public withering away of religion in Soviet society.This campaign, like the campaigns of other periods that formed the basis of the USSR's efforts to eliminate religion and replace it with atheism supported with a materialist world view, was accompanied with official claims that there was no religious persecution in the USSR, and that believers who were being targeted were for other reasons. Believers were in fact being widely targeted and persecuted for their belief or promotion of religion, as part of the state's campaign to disseminate atheism, but officially the state claimed that no such persecution existed and that the people being targeted - when they admitted that people were being targeted - were only being attacked for resistance to the state or breaking the law. This guise served Soviet propaganda abroad, where it tried to promote a better image of itself especially in light of the great criticism against it from foreign religious influences.

SUMMARY
=======
Albany ( (listen) ALL-bə-nee) is the capital of the U.S. state of New York and the seat of Albany County. Albany is located on the west bank of the Hudson River approximately 10 miles (16 km) south of its confluence with the Mohawk River and approximately 150 miles (240 km) north of New York City.
Albany is known for its rich history, commerce, culture, architecture, and institutions of higher education. Albany constitutes the economic and cultural core of the Capital District of New York State, which comprises the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area, including the nearby cities and suburbs of Troy, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs. With a 2013 Census-estimated population of 1.1 million the Capital District is the third-most populous metropolitan region in the state. As of the 2010 census, the population of Albany was 97,856.
The area that later became Albany was settled by Dutch colonists who in 1614, built Fort Nassau for fur trading and, in 1624, built Fort Orange. In 1664, the English took over the Dutch settlements, renaming the city as Albany, in honor of the then Duke of Albany, the future James II of England and James VII of Scotland. The city was officially chartered in 1686 under English rule. It became the capital of New York in 1797 following formation of the United States. Albany is one of the oldest surviving settlements of the original British thirteen colonies, and is the longest continuously chartered city in the United States.During the late 18th century and throughout most of the 19th, Albany was a center of trade and transportation. The city lies toward the north end of the navigable Hudson River, was the original eastern terminus of the Erie Canal connecting to the Great Lakes, and was home to some of the earliest railroad systems in the world. In the 1920s, a powerful political machine controlled by the Democratic Party arose in Albany. In the latter part of the 20th century, Albany experienced a decline in its population due to urban sprawl and suburbanization; however, the New York State Legislature approved a $234 million building and renovation plan for the City in the 1990s that spurred renovation and building projects around the downtown area. In the early 21st century, Albany has experienced growth in the high-technology industry, with great strides in the nanotechnology sector.
