Alex Zakletsky: Russian Culture Reproduces Model of Barbaric Behavior
"Culture is a civilization experience of a society in concentrated form, saved on some kind of medium. This saved experience may serve to further develop this society, upgrade its structure, and motivate its people to evolve from a state of savagery to humanity. Here, at this moment, Russian culture shows its main defect - it fails to prevent the atrocities and dehumanization but, conversely, reproduces the model of wild, barbaric behavior and vandalism. All the photos you see here show how really "great russian culture" works", explained Alex Zakletsky, Ukrainian photographer who introduced his exhibition Geometry of War at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) on 9th of September. The exhibition's opening was a part of the program of the 20th session of the European Cultural Parliament (ECP) and Kaunas - the European Capital of Culture. This is the first time an ECP session was held in the Baltic countries.
