Information about author
Object description
Language has a political nature. Additionally, language makes a person human. Resistance to the aggressor's onslaught can only be carried out by the human that speaks. Ukraine and the rest of the world are facing an evil that has not yet been appropriately named and therefore has not yet been punished. Following the methods of the Soviet Union, russia is constantly violating the dictionary because a Soviet person is not supposed to have their own words. They have been replaced by propaganda slogans that legitimize the inhuman and sadistic genocide of Ukrainians. Speaking one's own language is the artist's task. I create these drawings during the war because I do not want to be silent. (V. Ralko).
