<p>I woke up today and started to laugh. I saw this pattern in the window.  A couple of weeks ago I had the conversation via internet with the clever classmate of mine. We were talking about how Stalin&#8217;s repressions (the execution of all intelligent people in the country including poets, engineers, philosophers and e.t.c.) left an impact on following generations. And my classmate was trying to reassure me that it wasn&#8217;t that bad and we shouldn&#8217;t think so dark about Stalin. If I only had this picture at that time I wouldn&#8217;t need to explain myself on the couple of pages.</p>
<p>Сегодняшнее утро меня улыбнуло.  я увидела вот эту картину перед глазами. Несколько недель до этого мы дискутировали с одним моим умным одноклассником о том, как повлияли сталинские репрессии на последующие поколения. И о том, как досталось интеллигенции в эти годы. Он уверял меня, что это вовсе не было так плохо, да и оставшееся население почти не заметило потерю &#8220;умного брата&#8221; (да и потом, зачем он, умный такой, кому он нужен, не правда ли?). Если бы только у меня на тот момент была эта фотография, мне не пришлось бы объяснять себя, исписывая десятки электронных страниц.</p>
<p>4-years old sees symbolism in something else otherwise I can&#8217;t explain this photo. Дитячье фото искусство.</p>
