Question of congratulations

Lula da Silva, who won the October 25 presidential election in Brazil, has always had strained relations with Donald Trump. But his opponents, Jair Bolsonaro, who is in prison, and his son Flavio, can rightly be called Trumpists. Flavio, who lost the election to Lula, Trump even hosted at his Florida estate. But Lula’s left is ideologically close to the U.S. Democratic Party, with many politicians and supporters cheering his re-election. Trump, as expected, was disappointed in his victory and expressed suspicions of the integrity of the election. However, he never admitted his defeat in the 2020 US election, accusing the Democrats of rigging their results. Moreover, last year, the US raised tariffs on Brazilian goods, declaring Jair Bolsonaro as the reason for human rights violations. In Brazil, he was convicted of rioting by his supporters after the previous presidential election.

Vrubel without demons: the art of the past and the present
OpinionVrubel without demons: the art of the past and the present

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.
