Some Extremely Powerful Pictures .....


If ye know absolutely anything at all about The Eastern Front / Great Patriotic War of Independence, kind of depending on which side ye were, ye'll know it was no fucking picnic for anyone involved.

Then again; Is it me? Is it what we're exposed to as we're growing up? Or do we tend to think of German soldiers in the snow, when ever we evoke an image of " The Eastern Front " ? See? We even, quite automatically and unconsciously refer to it as the Germans did. Wouldn't it have been the Western Front, to the Russians?

What ever. Here's how some perfectly exemplary Russian Artists have portrayed it. From their own sides point of view: Soviet War Paintings.

This stuff's The Shit!
