Hey, my fellow Ukrainians and those interested in Ukrainian culture!
Did you know you could actually request a rant/article about a Ukrainian artist/writer/composer etc. from me? I would happily do a deep dive, especially if it is related to colonised/stolen Ukrainian art. Apparently, that's also a hobby of mine. It's not just elves😅
So far, I did two: this one on Malevych, and this one on Hovhannes Aivazian (known to most as Ivan Aivazovsky).
I have a lot more things to say! I'm actually quite passionate about Mykola Hohol (the one most know as Nikolai Gogol) or Illia Ripyn (russified as Ilya Repin), but I'd love to know what people are interested in. Maybe you guys want to find out more about authors and artists who were not stolen (but then, they attempted to even steal Shevchenko, one of the most iconic "russophobes" ever, probably), or maybe a lesser known person. Please give me your thoughts and suggestions!
I am also open to diving into artists from other countries and nations colonised by russia, maybe even other colonised countries, but my main focus is on Ukraine, since it's where I'm from and it's a country I know the most about.
