Don't even mention Marmite. Vegemite is best.

I would like to stress that I'm posting that only for WTF purposes and would like to avoid the discussion of that picture.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

It's not that WTF is it? I mean if I knew more about Russian history I would be able to tell better but it looks like the images in the background at least are a timeline from left to right.

Well, just interpretations of some figures are WTF-y. Okay, I said I'm not discussing it. I'll just leave it here. Once more I'd like to say that it's all about author's vision which is different from my own.

I have spotted and recognized Tolstoy, Stalin, Trotsky and Lenin in the Soviet part, then Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Lermontov and Gogol in the center. At least so far. I keep recognising people. It's kinda hard because beards.

Stuff enough symbolism in there and anything become a political commentary.

What in Satan's glorious name is that? It looks like propaganda, but I just can't see for what...

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

I still think that the whole point of that painting was just to stuff in as much influential icons as possible into one canvas.

Yeah, that looks like somebody needed pictures for a history book but only had funds for a single painting, so they told the artist to just stuff everything into that single picture.

The name of the painting is 'Eternal Russia' in case its useful.

RE: spreads

I don't know how Vegemite tastes, but Marmite tastes like a spawn of a threesome of beer, soy sauce and salt. Alternatively, it tastes like being kicked in the tastebuds by tiny, jackboot-shod yeast cells.

Just looks like regular modern religious art to me, I've seen a buddhist temple with figures in the piece ranging from charlie chaplin to saddam hussein on the walls. That one has figures ranging from lenin to genghis khan, its clearly a depiction of russian history as viewed through the lens of orthodox morality.
