the stumbling block was the graffiti with an area of over 6,500 sq m, is written in the Square 1-й Five years in Yekaterinburg. Work — gigantic Suprematist cross with quotations from the manifestos of Malevich — was created in the framework of the festival "Shorthand". The intent the author has explained so: "...the tiles on the Square 1-й Five-year plan has historically been laid out in the shape of a cross, and I, inspired by the straight lines expressed in his work the aesthetics of the artistic movements of the early 20th-го century. Suprematism, constructivism, futurism — are the currents very close to me and important to the history of our country. They are very suitable here in the context of the industrial history of the city and specifically Uralmash".

it was agreed with the city authorities. The local diocese also was not against it. Photos from the new graffiti spread around the Internet. But then came "strange". Soon after the creation of the work of her partially destroyed, laying new asphalt. Blamed on a misunderstanding: that the new Deputy head of the district sent road equipment, not knowing about art-объект. Rollers probably also drove with his eyes closed — well, okay, we believe. Agreed that Pokras Lampas will arrive on 26 August 2019 and recover.

But no fate. A few days before arrival of the Dye of the Stripes against graffiti made Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin and Abbot Sergius Romanov. The artist promised to meet the pickets. The organizers have received threats from religious activists. Everything became so serious that the area was going to increase security. Today came the news that the restoration work and decided to postpone.

And you're not surprised, right?

Winter will be long, must be prepared.
