    Vecinos (no siempre) bien avenidos

    October 25, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Como la de todos los vecinos, la historia entre Rusia y Alemania tiene momentos buenos y malos. Uno de los mejores fue cuando, en el siglo XVIII, Catalina la Grande (que para algo era alemana de origen) invitó a muchos trabajadores alemanes a que repoblaran el sur de Rusia, llegando, con Lenin, a fundar la República Socialista Soviética de los Alemanes del Volga. Uno de los más bajos se dio poco después, cuando durante la I y, sobre todo, II Guerra Mundial, ya con Stalin en el poder, esta misma población fue deportada, entre otros lugares, a Siberia. Cuando el muro de Berlín cayó, muchos de estos ruso-alemanes regresaron a…

    Breaking up and making up

    October 23, 2012 / 0 Comments

    When I think of the relationship between Russia and Germany the first thing that comes to mind is Carrie and Mr Big or maybe Ross and Rachel for those of you that never dug into Sex and the City – in which case, shame on you. The on-again, off-again saga of their affairs is almost too much for the common person to handle. They’re on – they’re politicking together and mutually militaristic; Russia is sharing her energy sources because of her dependence on Germany’s finances. If that’s not a relationship, I don’t know what is! And then Leo von Caprivi had to go and cut Russia out, ruining the three-way…

    Repin: realismo y revolución

    September 6, 2012 / 1 Comment

    Hablemos del siglo XIX. Hablemos de Rusia. Hablemos de desigualdades sociales y de bolcheviques. Hablemos de Repin. Ahora que nuestros gobernantes se empeñan en devolvernos a condiciones laborales preindustriales, ahora que hay gente a la que se desaloja por impago y mientras tanto tenemos que pagar la deuda que los bancos dejan tras de sí (somos los basureros del mundo, señores), ahora que quienes se supone que tienen que servir al pueblo ni se molestan en ponerse la careta porque, total, los vamos a votar igual. Ahora Repin está más vigente que nunca. Este autor ruso perteneciente a Los Itinerantes (Peredvízhniki) dedicó su vida y obra a retratar las desigualdades…

    Ilya Repin: Stalin’s Golden Boy

    September 6, 2012 / 0 Comments

    Ukrainian-born Ilya Repin’s life spanned the turn of the 20th century, a particularly turbulent period in Russian history. A member of the Itinerants, he is one of the most celebrated social realist painters of all time, painting the lives of poor peasants and revolutionaries in exquisite detail, eschewing the burgeoning contemporary European impressionist movement. His paintings are a satirical commentary on the contemporary society of the Russian Empire, depicting scenes of peasantry (‘Barge Haulers on the Volga’), political and military scenes (‘Demonstration 17 October 1905’) and Cossack life (‘The Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mahmoud IV’). Soon after his death in 1930, Repin had developed into a cult…
