Lenin and the cat

Without losing its qualities, Tuzov's "virtual" pixel drawing fits perfectly into the mosaic technique made of modern finishing materials. Zooming in reads like a monumentalization of the characters, and for all the originality of the graphics, you still can't avoid the taste of the aesthetics of Soviet monumental art, which has long since switched to the "songs about the main thing" mode, but has never been experienced. Which is not surprising, the new ideology has not acquired its own distinct school, and everything that is being done today is practically done by the same hands of the army of muralists. Despite the fact that Tuzov's list of heroes does not pretend to be encyclopedic, it is not so easy to get into it. Looking from modern times, it seems to us that the world around us is full of events, but looking back at history, we realize that historical memory levels the era down to just a few major events, names, or even just jokes. So the current kings and rulers should think about it. Neither Channel One, nor the court journalist Peskov, nor Rossiya Segodnya, nor even CNN guarantee a place in history, but the appearance of a character in Vanya Tuzov can.
