Russian Culture 3#

These is my reflection on Russian culture lesson , today we finally sorted out our topics for the final examination in Russian culture , I really glad that I have a chance to deeply investigate Russian art , there allot of  painters by whom I am really inspired , and even more prodigious paintings which I haven't seen but  will be appreciate   to discover because , Russian culture is big and powerful and canvases  carrying  ages of history  , emotions of people ,   all tears , elations that they felt , drawn on one chunk of canvas .  

Also today we continued with series of films "All The

Russias" we came up to the second part which told  us  about faith and believes , I really enjoyed watching because it's very close to me as orthodoxian , the film showing us how  is Russian culture bind to the orthodox church   famous composers , artists  were taking their inspiration from the religion.   In 17th century happened reforms in church   brought from Europe  but people were afraid  of them they were thinking it's all devil , when repression's over the old believers started they were prisoned then executed but nothing could stop them form their fate they were preferring death  rather then reforms , I was really impressed of the spirit and will of the people  who were ready to give everything they have just to safe their religion and never gave up on it even in the hardest times of repression's they continues to pray a god. Threw tears pain they were going forward with unstoppable will .

I really enjoyed these lesson looking forward for the next lesson.
