Here is the artist and his bio:
“Originally from Jõhvi, Estonia, the artist now lives and works in Ukraine. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2014 he has been involved in creating political posters, highlighting important events of the war. In 2022 alone, he has created over 500 posters on the theme of war and invasion. His works are widely recognized worldwide, and his poster exhibitions have been showcased in the US, Estonia, Lithuania, Japan, and Germany. In 2022, the museum of Ukrainian Poster recognized him as the best poster artist in the country. In 2023, he was included in the list of 100 most influential people in Ukraine during the war, according to the Ukrainian Pravda publication. Nikita has received awards for his volunteer activities.”
These were on display at my school… no shame.
This made me realize just how alone I am here.
I genuinely cannot tell if Russia being in lowercase is purposeful or just a typo. Putting “the” in front of Canada is also weird, and if it is a slight toward people who say “the Ukraine” then thats also just as weird. I don’t understand why people get mad when you say “the Ukraine.” Is it rude in general?
The museum of Ukrainian Poster part…. I know the image is blurry so I thought I misread it but the French part is more clear and using a translator it is literally “the Museum of Ukrainian Poster” lol. I don’t think there is a Ukrainian museum completely dedicated to posters, maybe he meant a poster section? It’s all just so strange. I don’t even think this guy is here for a seminar or anything, I think the admin and him collared to put his posters up. He’s done a similar thing but for Americans instead of Canadians so… there’s that.
