August News from Limassol

August, 2025
We all live by the news. There is nothing more important than waking up in the morning to check what is happening in our long-suffering Ukraine. It becomes calm if there is no information about the next martyrs flying to our city. So, the day was successful.
I imagine thousands of Ukrainians who came to the sea, because despite the fact that there is a war in the country, our children should have the pleasure of swimming and sunbathing.
And in Cyprus, as always, it is hot. On one of the hottest days, when the island became like a hot frying pan, a terrible fire broke out, destroying several villages and taking the lives of a married couple. They burned alive in a car.
And I have to fight with cats. Not so much fighting, but reaping the fruits of their life. It is disgusting. But as it turned out, in our yard I was responsible for the cats. And now we can turn to her for all our questions. And it’s been three years.
The only thing that pleases me is that the inspiration has returned, the paintings are selling, and autumn will come soon.

Серпень, 2025 
Ми усі живемо новинами. Немає нічого важливішого за те, щоб вранці, тільки-но прокинешся перевірити що відбувається в нашій багатостраждальній Україні. Спокійно стає, якщо немає відомостей про чергові шахеди, що летять на наше місто. Значить, день вдався.
Уявляю тисячі українців, які приїхали до моря, адже незважаючи на те, що в країні війна, наші діти повинні мати задоволення поплавати і позасмагати.
А на Кіпрі, як завжди, спека. В один із найспекотніших днів, коли острів став схожим на розпечену сковорідку, сталася страшна пожежа, яка знищила кілька сіл і забрала життя сімейної пари. Вони згоріли живцем у автомобілі.
А мені доводиться воювати із котами. Не те що воювати, а пожинати плоди їхньої життєдіяльності. Це огидно. Але як виявилось, у нашому дворі виявилася відповідальна за котів. І тепер із усіх питань ми можемо до неї звертатися. А минуло вже три роки.
Тішить тільки, що повернулося натхнення, продаються картини, і незабаром прийде осінь.

VERA KHOLODNAYA

VERA KHOLODNAYA I perfectly understand that my short stories are much easier to read, but sometimes it takes me more time to talk about the interesting things that happened in my life and in my gallery. So ask, I will highlight several publications for this material. This is about my author’s project dedicated to the memory of silent film actress Vera Kholodnaya. I called it - "Last Tango" It seems to me that the dignity and greatness of every nation is to preserve cultural values. At all times, rulers, politicians wrote their own history for the people. At one time, in a Soviet school, we studied Marxist-Leninist aesthetics and built communism, and today our children learn the history of Independent Ukraine. Historical facts are distorted. Only the cultural heritage, names and life stories of interesting people, people of art - artists, actors, musicians remain unforgettable. But the interpretation of their names and meanings changes in the same way as history. ...

"The Last Tango" Art Project, by Tatyana Binovska Vera Kholodnaya was a real star of silent cinema and photographs with her image came out in mass print runs. The exhibition featured more than 200 photographs. Vadim Vadimovich Kostromenko, the permanent director of the Odessa Film Studio Cinema Museum, gave us several boxes with an old film. We pulled a fishing line throughout the gallery, hung files with legends about the life and death of V.Kholodnaya on it. You know, it turned out that it is very important that our viewers are very fond of reading, and later on at the next exhibitions I used this feature. The Cinema Museum provided a camera and a projector for use at the time.  The centre of the hall, so modern and cold, we separated with a thin muslin, which became the border between the past and the present. The interior of the room was recreated, which was collected from objects of that time. Interestingly, museum items were used - a screen, a dressing table, h...
