Fast food nationalism…



To protest the incumbent president, some random maiden in Ukraine lifted her skirt and displayed genital area painted green, probably as a pun on the president’s surename…

Contemporary Czech art is a parody and a tragedy in one…
The same people, who removed the statue of the Soviet commander, Ivan Konev built a statue of Marie Therese, an eighteenth century Habsburg empress that is known for abolishing serfdom. The Prague elite always had a strange fondness for monarchy and feudalism. Several political projects that arose from Prague had members of noble families as figureheads.

And this is the format my blog shall from now take. Short, glossy, interesting and hard hitting information I find on the internet, with links, charts, photos, memes. Related to my home region of Eastern Europe but not necessarily. Comments can be made in the comments section…
