«SECRET»

Another small comic based on Kuzmin's diary (my long-time obsession!). This scene's made up, but I wanted to capture that feeling of peeking into someone's private life. He lived in his sister's place in the 1900s, so it was a very "everyone's in each other's business" kind of vibe. Still hoping to introduce more people to this historical figure! 🤧

Small illustrations for the cycle of poems "Alexandrian songs" (1906)

I wanted to convey rather the general mood of the cycle, so there are motifs from different poems here

Theatres at the beginning of the 20th century were a popular place for a secluded meeting (including for queer people). I really like the atmosphere: to be in plain sight and invisible to everyone at the same time.

Sketches that I forgot about, but they seem touching to me

Illustration for a section of Anna Akhmatova’s A Poem Without a Hero, depicting the real-life inspirations behind its characters: Olga Glebova-Sudeikina and Sergei Sudeikin.

Imperial Aunts: Lives of Queer Men in Saint Petersburg in the Belle Epoque

A relatively small article which explains how queer men in St. Petersburg of the early 20th century navigated the city, refusing to hide and being quite open. With a cameo from Mikhail Kuzmin, of course!
