Change of all

No one expected this: long lines lined up at polling stations across the country from early Sunday morning. Both in the centre of Belgrade and in the semi-stations of small Vojvodny villages, mostly young people queued up for the ballot. Announced by the former president of Serbia, early parliamentary elections proved to be a test of stability for the system, which it failed miserably. Tensions have steadily increased in recent election weeks. It was clear that something was going to happen, but the prospect of street protests was more worrying than the apparent loss of power in an election she had invented.

Vrubel without demons is the main formula of the new exhibition at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative Art, dedicated to the 170th anniversary of the artist’s birth. The exhibition reveals this formula in two ways. Among the almost 400 works, the visitor will not find Vrubel’s textbook paintings: the three of his famous “Demons” remained hanging in the halls of the Tretyakovka and the Russian Museum. But instead of Vrubel-melancholic, with his head immersed in his gloomy dreams, the viewer will see an active artist-experimenter who could from time to time pacify his own inner demons.

The Russian platform economy has come to a point where the experience gained by the market must be turned into clear rules of the game.
