@MIDslovitz Great picture! What is the title/who is the artist? 🙏

@RAJamie "The winter palace is captured" by vladimir serov

@MIDslovitz this goes hard

@MIDslovitz @criticofpolecon Berger wrote of soviet art that, despite many subpar works, at its crux was an attempt to create “a new tradition [that] can only be built on the general awareness that life should be an inspiration to life - not a consolation” and this painting really embodies that for me

@MIDslovitz @textureMonkey it’s like Lenin just got off his Harley Davidson, his footsteps echoing as he slowly walks through the empty halls. He finally sees a worker, lights him a cigar, “we done here?”

@MIDslovitz Goes really well with these two

@MIDslovitz Whose the dude with Lenin?

@MIDslovitz I really want a giant framed print of this.

@MIDslovitz @AliceAvizandum

@MIDslovitz @marxistmorticia Based painting makes for based memes

@MIDslovitz This is the one that always gets me. Just pure awe at the opulence of what the czars had amassed from stealing from the workers

@MIDslovitz those two guys just got called up to go to Luhansk

@MIDslovitz I am the saddest American but now it's time for

@MIDslovitz I think it’s funny how obsessed the bolsheviks were with leather jackets .

@MIDslovitz Not the hardest

@MIDslovitz Ah yeah. The tragedy day. The time when 3rd armed coup of Bolsheviks wasn't stoped by Temporal Government as they had problems and Bolsheviks took over. The amount of blood that was spilled and culture destroyed later is horrifying

@MIDslovitz @damnit_d4ve I've been there and, even though I had seen it on TV, the over the top grandeur and pointless opulence blew my mind away and made me think what those who stormed the Winter Palace must have felt upon seeing it for the very first time. I can imagine the bloodthirst.
