A Man's A Man For A' That Is there for honest Poverty That hings his head, an' a' that; The coward slave-we pass him by, We dare be poor for a' that! For a' that, an' a' that. Our toils obscure an' a' that, The rank is but the guinea's stamp, The Man's the gowd for a' that. What though on hamely fare we dine, Wear hoddin grey, an' a that; Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine; A Man's a Man for a' that: For a' that, and a' that, Their tinsel show, an' a' that; The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that. Ye see yon birkie, ca'd a lord, Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that; Tho' hundreds worship at his word, He's but a coof for a' that: For a' that, an' a' that, His ribband, star, an' a' that: The man o' independent mind He looks an' laughs at a' that.

There will be no winners in Third World War. The world will begin again or... not begin. Let's take care of peace in while we can.

Strip any politician and you only see a naked body. Why do they think that they have the right to seal my fate?

Olga Romanova,  a member of International Federation of Artists. http://olgaromanova.tema24.ru/ “Everyone wants to understand art. Why don’t we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only an insignificant part of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world though we can’t explain them; people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.” Picasso

..."God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager? According to reason, you can do neither the one thing nor the other; according to reason, you can defend neither of the propositions". Blaise Pascal

Is this our Future?

The world falls into the abyss of new war. People! Don't you like to live in peace? Do you get tired of peace and quiet? You are not afraid God. You don't want to think about your future. The war will spare no one. Memento mori!

If the separatists shot down the plane Boeing 777 - this was the terrorist attack. If Russia shot down the plane Boeing 777 - this was terrible crime. If Ukraine shot down the plane Boeing 777 - this was an unfortunate misunderstanding. If the USA shot down the plane Boeing 777 - let the Boeing 777 blames itself.

You think the world is multipolar. You are wrong. There is the USA and there are the remainder. You think there are many opinions. You are wrong again. There is the USA opinion, so, and so only.

Politicians are not afraid History, and in vain. History is the memory of the people. Whom you will remember? A hangdog? A dictator? A killer? Or may be people will be remember you as a holy man, a man who helped one's neighbour. You will be decide.

They are afraid of us because an evil-doer will always be afraid truth. Evil attacks first.

I never thought much of the courage of a lion-tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people. Bernard Shaw

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23

Nativity of St. John the Baptist. The sole biblical account of the birth of John the Baptist comes from the Gospel of Luke. John’s parents, Zechariah or Zachary — a Jewish priest — and Elizabeth, were without children and both were beyond the age of child-bearing. During Zechariah's rotation to serve in the Temple in Jerusalem, he was chosen by lot to offer incense at the Golden Altar in the Holy Place. The Archangel Gabriel appeared to him and announced that he and his wife would give birth to a child, and that they should name him John. However, because Zechariah did not believe the message of Gabriel, he was rendered speechless until the time of John's birth. At that time, his relatives wanted to name the child after his father, and Zechariah wrote, "His name is John", whereupon he recovered his ability to speak (Luke 1:5-25; 1:57-66). Following Zechariah's obedience to the command of God, he was given the gift of prophecy, and foretold the future minis

"To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves". Claude-Adrian Helvetius Anatoly Klein

Every empire is weirded to downfall. Babylon will be raze again.

"If God sees that your thoughts are pure and  efforts are sincere, He will give you on your way a man who helps you to find your Way and see the Light in the darkness of being - in the name of perfection and the love of truth ... " (from my book "The Wanderer. The story of my life or an aid for a budding artist ")

The Ship of Fools   Satan was the first politician. He created a policy that people fought each other all the time. A politician can not be a good man because the good men doesn't stay too long in the bedlam. The madmen rule the world. We are drifting  across the ocean of life by the Ship of Fools. It's pitiful sight.

There are no the East and the West. There is the humanity which lives in the Earth.

Life at its noblest leaves mere happiness far behind; and indeed cannot endure it. Happiness is not the object of life: life has no object: it is an end in itself; and courage consists in the readiness to sacrifice happiness for an intense quality of life. (George Bernard Shaw)

I'll always be in unequal conditions with other artists because I am a Russian and I am a Christian.

Celebrating the GREAT "VICTORY DAY" in Russia!   The 9th May is traditionally seen in Russia, as the final surrender of Nazi Germany in what Russians call the Great Patriotic War. Tens of thousands of members of the armed forces are taking part in parades which commemorate Russia's victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. The biggest parade is being held in the Red Square in Moscow. Nine thousand troops, a hundred army vehicles and dozens of aircraft were on show as Russia showed off its military might.. Victory Day, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany, is Russia's most important secular holiday.

Sieg Heil Barack Obama and Angela Merkel! US is a terrorist state that spreads famine, blight, death and poverty where ever it goes. Many americans are finally waking up to this fact and we pray they overthrow their filthy garbage of a government before it drags them all to hell with it.

DON'T BE LIKE HIM!

It's a good day to start afresh. I am tired from politics. I want to paint. Civilization is perishing. So what? Everything has the beginning, everything has the end. I will be paint!

"Europe Day and Europe Night" by Olga Romanova, 2001 I have made these works for the Euro Birthday Competition. It was in 2001. I thought everything has the beginning and the end. So I made euro day and euro night. Where there is the beginning there is the end.

Christ is risen from the dead, Trampling down death by death, And upon those in the tombs Bestowing life!         This is the Expected and Holy Day,         the One among the Sabbaths,         the Sovereign and Lady of days,         Feast of feasts, Celebration of celebrations,         on which we praise Christ for all eternity!

Ukraine is the beginning of the end of the EU.

USA + Europe = Destruction and Death of The World.

PALM SUNDAY O Christ our God When Thou didst raise Lazarus from the dead before Thy Passion, Thou didst confirm the resurrection of the universe. Wherefore, we like children, carry the banner of triumph and victory, and we cry to Thee, O Conqueror of love, Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord. Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in all four canonical Gospels.

Europe will choke blood of the innocents. History teaches nothing them. Should not repeat the mistakes. Who will be answer for the consequences? USA?

"He, who can, does. He who cannot, teaches." Bernard Shaw

Today is the beginning of our salvation, And the revelation of the eternal mystery! The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin As Gabriel announces the coming of Grace. Together with him let us cry to the Theotokos: "Rejoice, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with you!" The Annunciation (anglicised from the Latin Vulgate Luke 1:26-39 Annuntiatio nativitatis Christi), also referred to as the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Annunciation of Our Lady or Annunciation of the Lord, is the Christian celebration of the announcement by the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary that she would conceive and become the mother of Jesus, the Son of God, marking his Incarnation. Gabriel told Mary to name her son Jesus, meaning "Saviour".

Eagle Picks Up Baby, Fake?

The USA and Europe are in need of the weak Russia. The mass hysteria apropos of Crimea is fear of the strong Russia which will no longer obey of the American mafia's opinion.

Don't try to fuck a camel! The Jackals should not threaten the Bear.

History is repeated. Why don't people keep them history in mind? Because they have short memory. If people thought of their history, the world would be different.

The Slavs are the patient people. Should not try their patience. Europe is a sorry sight when it tries to press on Russia. USA is a sorry sight twice.

The Business Corporations have divided our world into several parts. They defend their interests and it is obvious. They don't give a damn about anything. They spit upon people. A man is only a cannon fodder for them. Golden is God for them. They will make the New Apocalypse for their profit. 

All of you - the West, the East, the North and the South, - all of you are the people of the Earth. Why does you kill each other? Why does the desire to kill prevail over the desire to live in peace? You think democracy/anarchism/ monarchy/ communism/ tolerance and ect. save you. No! Only God, love and peace can save you. Your hatred will kill you.

I run my blog because firstly I learn English, secondly I have some ideas about life, God and our society. To be sure I incline to the first motive lately. Modern society doesn't inclined to change. It prefers to be true.

What can I say about a new day? A day is like a day. It can be good or bad. And nevertheless every new day makes a something new to me. I have development. And now, let us imagine that a new day will never come.

What a wonderful world... Sunset which we want to destroy.

War knocks in our door and I want peace. The fool said in his heart, "There is no God." And the world perished.

None is so blind as they who will not see.

He needs a long spoon that sups with the devil.

How is this not sound strange but now God needs in our defense. I advocate God. It means I advocate humanity because if God leaves our world the world will vanish.

In Praise of God We accomplish frantic gestures for the sake of our beloveds. But we nothing want to make for God. Why? 

OLYMPIC FLAME IN PENZA CITY

A foul morn may turn to a fair day :)

ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS Jesus is the "Sun of righteousness". Unto you shall the sun of righteousness arise, and healing is in his wings.

New Year has come. We are happy and hope it will be a good year for us. I hope too. I hope we will change, we will become better than we were. We will become good people. We will love our neighbors as ourselves. "What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead". We must change if we want to have happy future. Happy New Year!
