      disturbing, very disturbing

    2. Niels R. says:

      So I suppose that elephants are evil?

    3. Lord Necron says:

      Vodka-drinking bear looking woods cutting themselves having scary looking smiles while another bear looks the scene is really, I mean, REALLY disturbing.

    4. Zack says:

      I don’t understand the elephant theme. Is it a statement of something?

      • lithuanian says:

        It’s about GOP or republican party (party of George Bush). GOP symbol is elephant, while donkey symbolizes democratic party.

        • Zack says:

          So, the elephant art gallery in Russia is about Republicans and America politics? None of it seems American.

          • Okrr says:

            He just wrote, “It’s about GOP or republican party (party of George Bush). GOP symbol is elephant, while donkey symbolizes democratic party.”

            Are you retarded

        • “donkey symbolizes democratic party.”

          And of course the other word for “donkey” is “jackass,” and there has never been a more appropriate symbol until now, when the new symbol of the Democratic Party in the USA should be that old cartoon ape with the big yellow streak (for coward) down his back, running away.

          Whiners, losers, excuse-makers, bums, malcontents, and other Democrats have worked for years to drag American down.

          Their motto should be–”Why raise the standard of excellence when you can instead drag it down into the filth with all the other losers?”

          Losers, whiners, collectivists, fat unloved women and frightened little men who spent too many years at their mother’s breast vote Democrat.

          Winners and freedom-loving individuals vote Republican.

        Represents Putvedev, I guess.

      • Perhaps the elephant artists (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He7Ge7Sogrk) have got unusually talented. They’ll soon be putting our renaissance artists to shame.

    5. LORENAI says:

      A BEAR is Russian elefant!

      Don’t think about it, just watch. Those russian artists got high while drawing these masterpieces :)

    6. onitake says:

      lovely paintings.
      never heard of that artist tho. is he popular?

      • Alex says:

        He will be after druged up death.

      • lithuanian says:

        This guy is in fact making demonizing cartoons feeding on Russians hate for Kaukasians - the elefant represents the kaukasiuns, and kaukasians are the source of all things nasty, acording to the average russian. Like the Jews in WWII. Nothing lovely about it.

    7. Stronzo says:

      Is that art? i don’t think so…
      facce di merda!!!!

    8. Bullwinkle says:

      Maybe the elephant represents zionism because these elephants seem to be wearing those pancake things on their heads and trying to cripple the common person.

    9. b says:

      very autistic.

    10. fgsfds says:

      Elephants = Immigrants.

      This is aimed at ‘blacks’, the Russian nick for all people from the Caucasus. Russians are in general very xenophobic, and the recent increase of everyday hardship [increased costs of living mainly] increased this, even. In Moscow in particular these Caucasians are hated, people are openly accusing them of stealing jobs, being criminals and, in general, making life hard for them, the local ‘pure blood’ Russians.

      When they need a construction worker or need to renovate their houses, of course, the same Caucasians are very welcome. When buying watermelons, one needs a Caucasian. Etc. Just looking for a scapegoat, as usual. The problems are everybody’s fault [read 'foreigners', 'blacks', the US, the EU] except their own. They have no talent for self criticism or introspection in general, my compatriots. IMO the Russian mentality is the main problem. Anyway.

      The recent increase of the number of these people is not their fault [one can hardly blame them for coming to the big city in search of a better life] but the City Councils fault: all restrictions have been dropped recently, now everybody can try and start a ‘career’ in Moscow. Resulting in an overpopulated city that will probably soon explode in some way: traffic jams 24 h/day, completely clogged public transport, etc…

      This series of pictures / cartoons is a nasty xenophobic attack on Caucasians. That’s it. No artistic value.

      • Akhenathon says:

        maxD, this blog really changed the way I saw russian people.

        I feel that the end of the USSR made russian people to go back in terms of Culture and Education. Today the new generations filled this “vacuum” with intolerance, xenophoby and racism. Politicians understand it very well, and manipulate this sense of “pride” in their favour.

        Russia today is nothing more than a Third World country (like mine, I’m from Brazil), living with ignorance, social inequalities and bad politicians.

        • maxD says:

          The nail on the head.

          Russia today is a banana republic, and the biggest problems are the mentality [lack of introspection and self criticism, backed up with egoism and selfishness (whereas the old Russia, even in communist times was known for its community sense), also extreme short-term thinking and planning. A sense of ethics is non-existent in many many people.

          Another big problem: the widespread corruption, which is like cancer to a society. [But more hard, if not impossible to beat!]
          Resulting in a state where the law i.e. is just printed paper, and justice is way too often for those with money to buy it. Everything relies on ‘blat’ (connections, network).
          Resulting in a society where not the most capable are in charge, but those with the best connections. Who in general are not really up to their task. The fish always starts rotting at the head, as my grandmother put it.

          People with a good heart and good intentions are seen by many as ‘duraks’ [idiots] because they do not act out of self-interest. That’s the mentality. Poor Russia.

          When will the people get back their pride ? Pride because they achieved something ? Something constructive ?

          Not with this government, who, like you said, are clever in manipulating the masses.

      • lorenai says:

        Nah, tell us something about xenophobic attacs on Mexicanians in US. It’s much more harder than in Russia, concerning their migrants from Caucasia, Middle Asia or whenever else around.

    12. Texas1 says:

      Don’t mess with Uzbek or Texas!

    13. lorenai says:

      yeah, tell us something about xenophobic attacks on Mexicanians in US.

    14. CZenda says:

      I am still unclear about the “elephant”. Is it a nickname of those coming from Caucasus??

    15. Ron Paul says:

      Preach it, brutha!

      Did you know that crime and masturbation skyrocket every time we have a Democrat president? It’s true!

    16. anuszka says:

      Słoń a sprawa rosyjska ;-)

    17. Georgij says:

      Yea, paintings in russian style > elephants likes Vodka

    18. aaalan says:

      The elephant I guess must be understood as a westerner which came to St.Petersburg (Russia) to civilize it with all ensuing consequences.
