Francois. Cape Town, South Africa. 2017.

Too many adjectives. December, 2016.

Of all the notable events; in 2012, @wearepussyriot staged an uninvited performance in the Cathedral (expressing political opinions critical of the government) and were arrested #russiabyjono (at Храм Христа Спасителя) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnI0pYIFeWy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ijdefi4rucsb

The current church is the second to stand on this site. Stalin intended to build a colossal Palace of the Soviets to house the country's legislature, but construction was halted in 1941 during World War II #russiabyjono (at Храм Христа Спасителя)

This is the tallest Orthodox Christian church in the world. In 2018, it was reported that the foundations of the church were sinking, and a massive campaign of underpinning, and reconstruction was needed. There’s some irony in that #russiabyjono (at Храм Христа Спасителя)

This gallery is one part of the museum quarter buildings, and is devoted predominantly to European Impressionism, Post-Impressionism as well as some avant-garde 20th century movements. It’s the one you should go to #russiabyjono (at Галерея искусства стран Европы и Америки XIX-XX веков)

3000 posts ago; I didn’t think I’d have seen nearly as much change in the world as I have. There is so much to embrace, and enjoy despite the disparity, and personal battles — chin up; tits out #russiabyjono (at Кофемания)

Minerva was the goddess of war... and peace (as well as wisdom, art, poetry, medicine, and crafts). This particular painting by Rembrandt van Rijn was relatively secluded for most of it’s life because it was kept in private collections until about 2008 when it was acquired by the Leiden Collection #russiabyjono (at Государственный музей изобразительных искусств имени А.С. Пушкина)
