Filippo Biagioli - Gio’o doll (legno dipinto)
Kyiv this night.
The site of Israel air-atrike in Gaza, june 30.
Gaza is bombed by US-backed Israel almost daily. Israel commits war crimes and genocide in Palestine.
Russia bombs US-and-EU-backed Ukraine almost daily. Russia commits war crimes and genocide in Ukraine. US halts its military aid for Ukraine. Russia “supports” Palestine by sending weapons to Hamas. Putin personally have longstanding good relationships with Netanyahu.
Ukraine sent humanitarian aid (1000 tons of wheat) to Palestine in 2024, two years r in war with Russia.
Ukraine has diplomatic relationships with Palestine since 2001, and has its embacy in Kyiv since than. Ukraine condemned Israelis actions to Palestine in 70% of voting cases in UN.
In UN, Israel votes against recognising Russian war crimes in Ukraine, along with Russia, China and United states.
Geopolitics is inhuman travesty. There is no “bad” and “good”, “right” and “left” global powers. There are only imperialstic global powerholders. And there are ex-colonies, that are constantly questioned on their legitimacy, and then bombed.
I stand with people of Palestine as a Ukrainian. And I ask you to stand with Ukraine AND Palestine. If you are a Palestine supporter from America - protest against military and financial aid to Israel, stand for aid to Ukraine.
Death to all invaders, freedom to the people.

Guess who was against the resolution about Ukraine, that contained the words "warcrimes" and "russian agression"? Oh no, the non-chalant warcrimes boys - Israel, USA and Russia! New Axis of Evil just dropped

So Trump wants to take Ukrainian resources for millitary aid, which USA should provide since it signed Budapest Memorandum (in which Ukraine gave its huge nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances by its signatories). And Ukraine will probably give it, as the war with russia (other signatory of Budapest Memorandum) is still ongoing.
If this is not neo-colonialism than I don't know what is it.
Maybe there should be a nuclear war that will wipe all northern hemisphere from the face of the earth, too bad there are countries like Ukraine and others in this part of the world, surrounded by centuries-old imperialistic machines.

I am in absolute shock of how many tributes to David are about how he 'changed their life'. Not influencing, but changing. My personal road to his art was 30 years long. Only two years ago, after the start of full-scale war, I finally fell under the spell of his art and craft. After watching Mulholland drive. And then two seasons of Twin peaks, binged mostly in a week, my love for him was cemented fully. Such an apologetically original vision on tv, was there even something else like this ever before? In a television media, which has a special place in our hearts, as those stories and characters are welcomed in our homes, and not witnessed in cinema theatres. Twin Peaks was also phenomenon in post-USSR countries, as it was one of the first western series on millions tv screens. What a cultural shock it was, probably. And then I watched Fire walks with me and was devastated and shocked by the tone-change, the jump between his pre-90s visual language to his 2000's one. And yet, it was still 1991. Seeing Mullholand drive before FWWM felt as a time travel. I was honestly in ave. And i still haven't seen Inland Empire, Wild at heart, The straight story and his short movies. An avant-garde, surreal artist, who was never pretentious, whose vision was always honest and introspective and his sentimentality - pure and full of love to this world, no matter what. I cry for loss, but also in gratitude. Thank you, Mr Lynch.

It was a late February, when I wrote this post. And now its May 1st.
In this February post I promised to tell about two ukranian documentaries, that shed a light on russian warcrimes. Since that, one of the docs, 20 days in Mariupol won the Oscar. Since than russia committed so much more. Yesterday they bombed Odessa, again, with ballistic missiles. The war is still going on. ________________________________________________________
20 days in Mariupol is a first documentary film of Pulitzer Prize-winning ukrainian journalist Mstyslav Chernov. Chernov have been a war photographer since the 2014 year, from the start of this war. He also documented Euromaidan protests. He was wounded couple of times during his work as war correspondent. In the last two years of full-scale war, I saw a lot of his potos, as I am involved in design process of Russian War Crimes exhibitions, that took place in Europe and USA. I saw this photos of dead civilians too many times. As a part of my job, I also designed (and curently also editing) a map of russian war crimes in Ukraine. By editing I mean constantly adding new places on the map (you can see the map on the site of the project).
I should mention, that I still cannot watch 20 days in Mariupol. I could not force myself to watch it in cinema, its too hard. I heard about Mariupol from my dear friend, who spent those 20 days there herself. I saw lots of video in the first month of invasion and they still terrifies me.
And its because of that horror, that I am trying to avoid - you should see it. You don't see films like that from russia, in which they would show you, how "Ukranian Nazis" destroyed Donetsk. Cause it never happened. After ten years of conflict, Donestk (which is the capital of one of the separatists quasi-state) is still there. Although russians claimed that we bombed it every day. And yet, it took them less then a month to turn Mariupol into ashes. And its been documented and even translated in real time, such is a nature of our media era. And yet the world missed it. But we should not forget it.
________________________________________________________
The second documentary is Intercepted. The film consist of telephone conversations intercepted in 2022 by the Ukrainian Secret Service between russian soldiers in trenches in Ukraine and their families. It may sound trivial in 2024, but this movie does let you see the most grounding example of 'banality of evil'. I mean, its almost trivial to hear famous Hannah Arendt's quote again and again, especially when you don't live in war-torn country. But Intercepted illustrates it just like it is - you hear wives, mothers, girlfriends of russian soldiers tell them, that it's okay to kill, to steal from dead civilians. Someones wife is okay with the fact, that her husband will rape ukrainian women. It does not count as cheating, even more - she supports it. Another wife asks her lover to take home some fine electronics, or kids clothes for their kid. From the destroyed house of ukrainian family, I mean, and she knows it. While you listen to this hellish dialogs - you can see pictures of destroyed ukrainian cities, burnt homes... but its the voices and words of everyday russian families that make this documentary so bone-chilling. Its inhumane in a very literal sense - they just don't see ukrainians as people.
