Holy Land

According to legend, the mermaid Dekerto lived in Ashkelon, fell in love with a young man and bore him a daughter. Residents hunted mermaid ridicule, and she returned to the sea. The girl was nursed pigeons, and then it picked up the shepherd. When she grew up, in love with her Babylonian king Ning and took her to wife. At its board had built many irrigation systems and powerful defenses.

Perhaps the legend identifies her with the famous Queen Semiramis. Herodotus, the Greek historian, in his chronicle of the invasion of the Scythians in 633g. BC writes: 'Only a few of Scythian warriors were from Ashkelon, and plundered the sanctuary of Aphrodite Urania. This is how I learned the most ancient of all the sanctuaries of the goddess … Scythians same robber shrine in Ascalon, didst send a goddess, as well as all their offspring, women's diseases' (Herodotus, History).

When the Romans conquered Ashkelon, he was already a major city. It is believed that it was born in Ashkelon, Herod the Great, memorable stories, including a big builder. He settled down town built here bath, plumbing, home assembly and palaces. Construction was very active. But after the Jewish War, Josephus described in his book of the same name, the city's population thinned and Ashkelon itself fell into neglect. In what city fell under the power Muslims, who also tried to settle it, although progress in this was relative. It was not until the arrival of the Crusaders in the Holy Land.

Looked Like The Tower Of Babel

"And they said: build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven, and make us a name, rather than be scattered over the face of the earth." In ancient times, descendants of Noah settled in the west, in the place of Shinar, and there have decided to erect a very large in world tower to the sky touched it. But God did not want people to spend their strength in vain, trying to surprise him, or perhaps in competition with him. It was there, in Babylon, humanity during construction, no longer speak one language and the tower was never built. So the Lord resettled people in the world, giving them different languages. The moral of the clergy is simple and straightforward. But as far as is known, yet the Clergy of the Tower of Babel and the clergy at all. Under this name, according to scientists understood the pyramid – the ziggurat, built at the foot of the temple of the Babylonian god Marduk. Its height reached more than ninety feet, and the structure was very unusual.

It's made out of several towers or pyramids, posed on each other. Length of the base as high as 90 meters. The building itself was completely monolithic, with the exception of the temple on top and drainage canals, the walls were built at a slight incline. Terraces were Ziggurat painted in variety of colors, but they themselves are interconnected by multiple staircases and ramps. Etemenanka – that such a name, in fact, wore a Tower of Babel.

September 8 'Chartova Dozen' Nashe Radio launches a new song NAIVE 'My Heart (not stopped). " The song lasted in the charts over 14 weeks and rose to third place.

In October NAIVE gives the joint with a group of King and the Clown tour in support of the group released a tribute Gaza Strip, which took part in NAIVE song 'near your house'. November 18th the album, a tribute band NAIVE 'Naive Song', which is attended by stars of the national rock – Leningrad, Agatha Christie, The King and the Clown, Pilot, bricks, and many others.

This year, writes NAIVE an exclusive version of the song for the computer game 'Crank 2: Rush Hour' That's what Dmitri said Khakimov, director and drummer: 'Especially for the game' Crank 2: Rush Hour 'we did the industrial (first time in our 19-year history) version of the song 'Hope for yourself (Adrenaline) "We are very pleased with the outcome." On the occasion of its 20th anniversary 'NAIVE' at the end of 2008 gives a commemorative tour to cities in Russia, culminating in a concert in the concert club 'B1' in Moscow. In January of the year 2009 on the official site features a formal letter of resignation of a sabbatical for an indefinite period.

But as it became known from an interview with 'Agatha Christie', musicians, taking the group of 'Snake' warned him that he would be It is just a couple of months, due to the fact that a group of 'Agatha Christie' fall apart as soon play their last round of 'Epilogue' in 2009. The very same lead singer of 'NAIVE' admitted that all the answers to the question 'Why Group disbanded? " are in the final song 'XX Years of Solitude', which appeared on the air "Nashe Radio" on February 6.

Only Pavel Tretyakov

Titles pictures speak for themselves: 'Beggars in Samarkand "(1870),' Opiumoedy ',' Sale of child slaves' (1872), 'dungeon Samarkand', 'The Uzbek woman in Tashkent' (1873) and many others. The artist has a brush easily and has an amazing memory, which allows him to return to previously seen events and transfer them to canvas. The main theme of the artist chooses a military event. His heroes are ordinary Russian soldiers in the pictures shows a brave harsh, the truth of war. A number of works he combines in series: the painting "In the fortress wall. Let the will '(1871) severely and firmly expect to fight Russian soldiers.

Painting 'entered' reflects the same place, but after the fight. In paintings' Look out '(1873), "Surprise Attack" (1871),' Present trophies' (1872), 'triumph' (1872) and 'The Apotheosis of War (1871-1872). Vereshchagin exposes the cruelty of feudal lords, lords savage manners and praises the courage of simple Russian soldiers. Passionate prosecution of war to become his painting 'The Apotheosis of War, in which the background of debris left over from the city and burned trees, stands the pyramid of human skulls. The idea arose from the warrior Tamerlane, who after leaving his victories are the pyramids. But the skull fracture and become a symbol of all wars, and the artist paints on a frame: "Dedicated to all the great conquerors – past, present and future." Such a bold and accusatory criticism is hostility to the reactionary circles of Russia. He is accused of being hostile to the host.

Painter hurt unfair accusations. Yielding to the senses, he burns the painting 'The Forgotten', 'surrounded – persecuted' and 'They went'. The tsarist government did not consider it necessary to acquire paintings Vereshchagin, he forbid to organize exhibitions, the press is not allowed to reproduce his paintings on their pages. Only Pavel Tretyakov bought a large part of the Turkestan works.

Timur Novikov

In his paintings and panels can be clearly seen, as varied his art. Early works on fabrics and textile collages, which look through application of the logs against the background of the bright spots of color. More recent work of Novikov and textile panels 'Horizons', is much more restrained and succinct. The idea of the horizon, the division of space, preserve the integrity of the picture. All works by Timur Novikov cheerful, otvyazny. They really are! This is not nervous, not simulated, and healthy living and joy. It public opinion on everything without shame. Zagnannost not in a corner, not aggression and indifference, and life as it is.

I am interested in 'Portrait of Timur Novikov with bony hands' (1988), performed by Eugene Kozloff. This pattern is evident at once when entrance to the first room. It stands out from all others. Rather original to see the opening of the lattice of Timur Novikov in evening dress, with her hands from the bones with a known sign of a skull and crossbones. I would also like to highlight the work of Vadim Ovchinnikov, whose work is devoted to the last room. Environmental songs, icons, such as 'window' (1988), very romantic, simple, carry something unearthly, cosmic. Works by artists Ivan Sotnikov not cause I have not bad, not good feelings. All of his work, I would call primitive.

But if you think more seriously, that's good! When not caused by bad feelings! Works of Oleg Kotelnikov ridiculous and I can say a little crazy. Of all his works, I can select a single 'Boogie ee' (1985). Hipsters aroused 'New' great sympathy. Painting for me is very positive. Performed in a harmonious, vibrant colors. Quite simply, schematically, has a certain power and meaning. As for the gallery, paintings nekrorealistov busy, it's not for me. All these manifestations are absurd and only cause disgust. All of the exhibition, it is a challenge to society and protest. The appeal of life in those years. Artists are not considered necessary to depend on the circumstances. All the emotions they had experienced at the pictures in the form of mocking. Pictures may shock, frighten, amuse, surprise. But they are all very peculiar. For me, first of all, I can say that the following: I agree with columnist Agunovich, which compares with the exhibition 'Time Machine'. Yes! for me it's 'Time Machine'. I went to this show and fell like a different world. It is difficult to judge bad is it, this world, or good. But I can say one thing: 'I was in another world to me! "
