The MELNIKOFF Galleries Network proposes an extraordinary exposition revealing the criminal essence of the Russian Authority. The exhibition will include poster-size photographs and war children's drawings reflecting the bloody history and harsh reality of Kremlin practicing the genocide of Caucasus nations in the continuous war in Chechnya.
The purpose of this enormous exhibition is to influence people’s minds, to make them think profoundly; to make government officials aware that they are regularly negotiating with criminals. It is not about stirring up hatred against nations and governments, but about awareness and clear understanding of what is happening.
Anna Politkovskaya had the courage to openly point out the truth about the Russian Authority, and as a result, was gunned down in her own apartment block.
She wrote about bombings, torture camps, violence, abductions of Chechen civilians, and corruption in Moscow's second campaign in Chechnya. Shortly before her assassination she was working on the investigation of torture taking place in Ramzan Kadyrov's (Chechnya's pro-Moscow president) prisons in Chechnya. Among the collected materials there were reports of witnesses and victims of the torture, as well as photographs. Scores of these photographs will be presented in our exhibition.
