An Appartment in Kharkov Style
One Russian guy in Kharkov, Ukraine preferred was obsessed with some idea which he tried to express in writing on any flat surface he met. All his flat carried his scriptures, the local lobbies and walls of houses also had not stayed untouched.

some people might see art but i see graffiti
Graffiti is art too I see tags…
What is the true definition of an ART?don`t think every thing which is out of the “box” is not an art.art is the feeling of soul.don`t try to encircle the inner eye.
I like the frige - it’s graffiti you can eat-ee!
you brightened my day with that dude, thanks
hehe, graffiti you can eat-ee
I pretty sure he is not getting his safety deposit back
Graffiti is art.
I also see graffiti.
However, with this, I see art.

this piece is ghetto fabulous
r u into graffiti?
He missed writing on the floor.
Shit! What a mess! >__
Its a condition known as graphomania,an overwhelming compulsion to write.Its very interesting.I wish i could translate it.
Hm, interesting condition.
The writing on the door says: “You’ve never been one of the World/Soil/Ground/Earth (depending on the context in his head) and never will be
was just about to post ‘what does it say, for gods sake - tell me!’ thank you
That shit doesn’t really mean much; some words are made up, some just dont make any sense in context.
He could write political speeches.
‘world’ sounds more logical
Okay,so now I’m getting a mental image of a little boy being told by an overbearing mother,”You are not normal,you are sub-human.You’ll never belong.You’ll never amount to anything.”This is of course pure supposition,but if this were the case,then the writer has certainly left traces of himself in this world,and an indelible image in my mind.
I think you hit the nail on the head.
I wonder if he still wears her skin
Kak eta strashna! Bozhe moi, bozhe moi. Znachit…esli bi ya znal on, ya bil’ bi skazal “zakusovat’ nado!” Xa, Xa, xa!
I know he’s from Kharkov, but my god…can he decide to write in Ukranian or Russian? Both of them together (or just poor spelling) makes me crazy.
The guy is a famous madman in Kharkov - Oleg Mitasov.
Is he just a crazy? That’s explain all this raving.
The cyrillic looks so much cooler than latin does.
I thought latin letters are cooler…
That paintbrush, give Yoda.
LOL. Very good.
LOL. Good one.
(Please disregard. Intended as reply to Dixieland’s comment above.)
This is so so so so great..I wonder what was going on here :O ? This person must have had some kind of o.c.d here
these people should be executed.
I think they abolished the death penalty in Russia about 10 years ago, you can go cry now.
I think they abolished the death penalty over 10 years ago, I guess you can go cry now.
This guy is sick. A stupid asshole
how is he sick or an asshole? he has a compulsion to do this, and besides, if you dont like it keep stumbling.
OMG scary but nice eheheheh
OMG - 23!
Back in CCCP, he might have been useful as a coder or as a war psychic
Similar to the character in the film “A Beautiful Mind”?
The guy who paint these walls was brain “washed” by kgb.almost half of his brain was removed from his skull! ! ! ! .remaining half was not able to think and act like average person, so he colored meaningless characters.
I wonder what the bottle is symbolic of in that picture up there? Its rounder so nothing could be done to it

go crazy?
Don’t mind if I do!
I have a friend who has been drinking every day since 1993. His apartment will soon start to look like this.
I see insanity.
I was wondering what do the words on the last photo say? It feels like something from a horror movie.
It is a flat of madman, he died in hospital some years ago
Has Sasha Sokolov met this guy? I smell sequel!
I hate to be so picky, but in Kharkov, Ukraine, chances are he’s a Ukrainian guy not a Russian guy, especially since so much of the writing is in Ukrainian and not Russian (cross my heart, there’s a BIG difference)!
wthit?
Horror vacui, my god. I like it as an installation piece, but I can’t believe anyone can live there without permanently damaging their eyes.
This guy owns stock in the marker company…….make write on walls…….make markers go empty…..buy more markers…..more markers make stock go up!
Crazy is as Crazy does!
looks pretty similar to basquiat…
looks like some basquiat…
The only people likely to enjoy this artist’s work are people who cannot read, nor write in Russian.
I can’t imagine seeing english text as stimulating.

this is simply beautiful artwork! look at the craftsmanship
My mother has OCD - she is hyper-religious due to it, and constantly is either reading the bible, listening to her religious radio channel and/or writing religious notes. She also used to constantly record radio broadcasts on cassette tape. She has several baskets filled with them.
When I brought a notebook computer to her house she was interested in learning to type on it so she could fill hard drives with the results of her graphomania.
It made for an interesting childhood–especially as I am an athiest.
Make that atheist. Sheesh.
this guy went nuts for sure!!
hey guys!What are u talking about?i think it’s just sick all this.Definatly the author of all that is seriously ill. brrrr…this is crasy!
Who is from Odessa?
In the last picture you can read in Russian: “Tibet was never a country and will never be.”
C´mon guys! You can’t be serious if you consider all this bullshit art. (Especially what is written about Tibet)
Freedom for Tibet!
Свобода или Смерть!
Освободите Тибет!!!!
Квартира Митасова. Харьков. Фото:Павел Маков.
Митасов родился в середине 20 в. и умер в психиатрической больнице в 1999 году.
Имел высшее образование, экономист, работал директором магазина.
Заболев, покрыл все поверхности своей квартиры надписями, часто в несколько слоев.
Сейчас в квартире проведен евроремонт. Отдельные надписи можно еще встретить в окрестных дворах.
now the translation
Mitasovs apartment. Kharkov. Photo by Pavel Makov.
Mitasov was born in the middle of 20th century and died in psychiatric hospital in 1999.
He had an university degree, was an economist, worked as stores head manager.
when he got sick,he covered everything with inscriptions in several layers.
right now the apartment is all fixed up.
but in the neighborhood you can still see some of his inscriptions.
here is the link to some more photos:
http://kolya-s-raena.livejournal.com/13839.html
and the last one, one on the house, reads: My happiness, I am here and waiting for you.
and by the way the writing on the door does not say anything about Tibet. two first words don’t make sense, but are very similar to *You were*, and if thats right, then all together it reads *You were never a ground(earth,soil,dirt), and never will be.
I think that this is graffiti just because I think this mans obsessing over writing the scripture, I don’t think he is doing it for an aesthetic purpose or having any thought process behind it. But if I applied this same type of idea to a poster, i guarantee that I would get an A in my graphic design class.
Wow, this is really typical of the situation in the 90ies, so many people went insane.
For those who don’t understand: an educated and successful economist went bonkers and covered his whole flat with inane incoherent misspelled writings sometime in the 90ies, perhaps after loosing his job and all he worked for.
Chto strashno eto to, chto ego kvartira bol’she chem moy v Moskve. Interesno, esli on by zahotel obmenyatsya.
Insanity is a bigger problem than you think!
First one guy goes insane and starts writing shit all over the walls.
Then another guy goes insane trying to clean all the shit off all the walls!
And it goes on & on & on.
