This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

so i'm designing a playing card deck right. that's 14 cards (three face cards per suit plus two jokers). so i've been reading up on the symbolism of each suit and face card bc i don't want to just throw the characters in there willy nilly. and it's interesting bc the four suits represent like most of the core themes from the show, so placing characters in their proper slots here needs to be very intentional.

obviously anya and dmitry get two face cards each bc i can do what i want. but i'm thinking red (hearts and diamonds) will be act ii and black (clubs and spades) will be act i. and obviously dmitry is a jack (mischievous, unconventional, youthful) of hearts (romantic at his core, selfless companionship, intuitive/spirited). but he also belongs in the clubs suit (peasant class). is he a jack of clubs too, or does the 'prince of petersburg' title make him king of clubs?? the king card represents authority and stability so that's not really dmitry to me, but it also represents the 'ability to make important decisions'. so idk.

and obviously gleb dominates the spades suit (symbolizes war and patriotism, as WELL as 'having grace after conflict'!), but who else should go here?? i was thinking maybe the tsar, but i wanted the tsar and tsarina to be in the diamonds suit bc duh, but idk who else would best represent this category. and i'm thinking gleb is a queen for his strategic importance. otherwise spades is the suit i'm struggling with the most 😭

[izloveshorses]

also where do i put vlad?? is he also a jack? i originally put him in diamonds, but does he really belong in clubs ????

and i had the dowager as the king of hearts, bc she represents the epitome of home love family™, but should she also go in the diamonds category??

The Danish National Symphony Orchestra plays "Rogue One" (Michael Giacchino), one of Disney's Star Wars movies.

It's uncanny how close Giacchino got to John Williams' music in this soundtrack. (I recognize Giacchino's music after a few bars but not many people can.)

there are a fuckton of brutalist buildings with incredible murals, glass art, and other colorful structural elements tho! media can't use those as an easy visual shorthand for a bleak dystopia or unknown lands whose main export is crime ofc, so they get less airtime than the washed-out, blocky concrete, but they exist

the thing is, in socialist states, there still were (and are) a lot of artists, art schools, and jobs in artistic fields, with less press, but often paid jobs. censors wouldn't let you put up openly critical art in the big institutions, could imprison you for criticism, and the stalinists and mao's culture revolutionaries did consider most modern art bourgeois decadence, i.e. anti-communist. some fled, some went underground, but a lot simply kept making art, for the people, but rarely for an art market as criminal as now.

Brutalism is in itself an expression of this: destalinize a bit and give architects a new industry for post-war reconstruction, a new material as flexible as reinforced concrete, and a mission to get ready for the baby boom, and you'll get both great art and some choice mistakes, unlike anything before.

but in many socialist countries, everyday art experienced a boom as well: you may have seen the posters for the space race, films or propaganda, but art expressed itself in the buildings, as above, furniture design, pop music, clothes, and there even were space vacuums and samowars - probably not for everyone, but for many who'd never had one. the focus on art for the people, and giving a lot of people access to the means of producing art, led to a sort of revolution in art, imo pretty close to what the Bauhaus had envisioned.

the shift to actually consider this art as art, instead of design or just the stunted remains of art under censorship, is still ongoing in (US/eurocentric) art history, with all the usual post-socialist and recent russophile pitfalls. "paying artists is a good idea, censoring them is a deadly one" could imply too much already, but I'll risk it.

artists starving isn't necessary, not even in Paris, and art lives on in plain sight and underground, even under censorship, but the artists who got ended or never started you can't get back. they may have been awful, or a van Gogh, but your taste, of all people and all ideologies, shouldn't decide.

might add some photos from an exhibition later, but taking a peek @sovietpostcards can give you an idea, and sorry, but not all sorry, for going history on a great joke!
