July 28 The "seasons".The "seasons". Size A4, pencil, water color, India ink, style. Legareva Olga. 12 years. "spring". Shkoda Irina. 12 years. "Summer". Shkoda Irina. 12 years. "Autumn". Yerokhin Sergey. 12 years. "winter".Systematic recommendations: Four works are doing "spring", "summer", and "autumn"; winter". These names are relative, since they are deprived of concrete images and are more formal than the composition exercises, which express emotional states. Pairs: winter - summer; spring - autumn. Winter treats as the supremacy of the rigid elements of geometric figures and strips (initial prototypes - crystals of snow and ice), sustained in the cold colour range. Summer - the same The predominance of soft elements (prototypes - different plants, flowers, butterfly) in the warm range. Spring and autumn are passage of one state to another, struggle of opposites. The concept of static and dynamics here for the first time is introduced (rest and motion). It shows based on different examples that the static elements will be located on the vertical line and the horizontals, dynamic - along the inclined lines (for example diagonal). Winter and summer - are static, spring and autumn - are dynamic (fight implies motion). In this case the first are carried out in the colour nuance (i.e. only in the cold or only by heat colouring), the second - are contrasting. For the students of low-order age permissibly nevertheless introduction into the composition, as the centre, such as real object (for example, years- butterfly, flower; winter - snowflake, polar bear; autumn - falling sheet; spring - sprout, bird. The sequence of the stages of work is usual. Image must take the conditionally- decorative (planar) form; each element of figure is the locked form. Before beginning work by paints should be more deeply opened the emotional value of different it is colour, for example: violet expresses melancholy green - rest, etc., so that the students could use this for the transfer of one or other state or another. At the end India ink encircles the works, the boundary of all image elements. For the purpose of checking the level of our compositions, it is possible to use the "small window cut out from the paper". The more we find the interesting personnel, which are independent elementary compositions, the higher the work must be evaluated. Task: To fasten in the trainees of the concept of rigid and soft nature, contrast and nuance; to learn them to transfer rest and motion, to use laws of chromatics with the transfer of mood. To show, as with the aid of the simple elements it is possible to compose the complex composition, which expresses the specific means, with the retention of entirety and joint subordination of parts.In the process of fulfilling the versions of this exercise it is useful to conduct the following exercise. Having previously asked one of the trainees to arrive in the white (jacket, blouse), to place it before the slide projector with the inserted finished composition. Thus, the white background of clothing seemingly is covered with the coloured patterns, whose arrangement can be changed, moving sheet with the composition. This work to permissibly treat and as the sketch of figure for the cloth. Occupations assume independent work.
Alex Fantalov. Drawing of the figure of man in the historical suitSystematic recommendations:
Trainees must make three exercises consecutively on the West European, eastern and Russian historical material. Before the work, with them is conducted the conversation, in which based on the example of albums with the image of architecture, suits, weapon, works of decorative- applied skill it shows, as in one culture or another the specific nature finds expression. It is possible to compare from one side, structural knightly armour either lady's dress with the framework from the metal or the whale whisker, with another the soft fluid clothing of the inhabitants of the east. Well to compare also soaked or Gothic cathedral, the spires of towers of which were directed upward and the oriented along horizontal Japanese temple with the soft bent lines of roofs.
In the conversation it is possible to touch the theme of religion as one of the most important components of culture, to describe about the role of Catholicism in the West, the orthodoxy in Russia and Buddhism in the Far East.
Our exercises respectively and are carried out: the first (on the West European material) in the rigid nature and the cold colouring; the second (on the eastern material) in the soft nature and by heat colouring; the third (Russia) presents work in the combination (contrast) of rigid/hard and soft, warm and cold.
Process of fulfilment the same and in the foregoing tasks with the application of a watercolour. However, now some image elements can be make with the transfer of volume (especially face and the figure of man).
Task: To develop the creative, intelligent approach to the drawing, to bring up taste, general artistic culture; to inculcate the skill to saturate image by details, preserving in this case the entirety of composition; to learn to select characteristic pose, suit, appropriate situation, colour range.
To learn to depict the open (view) or closed (interior) space, to place objects so that neighbour would partially enclose distant. To transmit in the image the characteristic properties of human figure.
Occupations assume independent work.

Alex Fantalov. May 27 Eurasia – possible prospects.Now we notice end of surprising process of transformation of the USA from planet "gendarme" into the main world revolutionary power which are carrying out an active policy of export of revolution. From the point of view of short-sighted ‘a real policy’, actions of the American administration are difficult for explanation. During several ‘velvet revolutions’ she has removed quite loyal to it predicted nomenclature leaders of the East Europe. Milosevic now testifies in Hague, Kuchma and Shevardnadze do not touch, but him is not less insulting. Once intelligentsia like Shevardnadze. He boasted repeatedly as dexterously it, during the stay of Minister for USSR Foreign Affairs and, cooperating with daddy Bush, has disorganized the second superstate (a little exaggerating, however, his merits). And here – have not estimated, have exchanged on Saakashvili. Just as quite loyal Kuchma who has entered the Ukrainian military contingent to Iraq – on Yuschenko, promising it to deduce. Nonlinear logic of the American brain trusts is not understand for post soviet "elite", with its ideology of a belly really. And in fact it is possible to not accept a policy of the USA, but to refuse it in scope and boldness it is difficult. Among advisers of republicans in America we see not old cozy conservatives such as Patrick Buchanan, and aggressive neocons, many of which during a time of the sixtieth were fond Trotskyism and it of ‘permanent revolution’. The American government started the big game from their submission on creation of controlled chaos in Eurasia. For, on the certain concurrence of historical circumstances, all geopolitics competitors of the USA – the European Community, the World of an Islam and China are there. Inspiring «velvet revolutions», America hopes to create huge crater in which it competitors will fall. For such great purpose, it is not a pity to offer and a quantity of vassals. Yugoslavia, Georgia, Ukraine… All it is obviously not enough for createn continental chaos. Iran and Russia are key countries in this process. Probably, we become witnesses of the anti Iranian action soon. The Islamic Republic Iran for a long time already carries out moderate enough policy. To tell the truth, among heads of the country there is a fraction, ready to give fight to America. Understanding, that in the military attitude him to not resist against the USA, they count on guerrilla actions for which expansion here there are more opportunities, than in Iraq (traditional Persian strategy which the country successfully enough used against Rome and Ottoman empire). On their plan, the American occupational contingent will start to sustain huge losses then it will be left. Fundamentalists will return to authority with triumph, at the same time having liquidation of reformatory wing. However American government has got it trumps. First, in the West influential Iranian emigration (more authoritative, than its Iraq analogue) exists, which USA can entrust management of Iran. In the second, Iran is the multinational state in which Persians make hardly more half of population. Other part is Turkish. Among them - fifteen millions the Azerbaijanis enough rich and enterprising, but deprived of enterprising, political authority which was supervised by Persians strongly always. So, Americans if will begin the anti Iran action, will lead her, more likely, on Afghani, instead of to the Iraq sample. But the key role in ‘creation of chaos from the world’ is allocated to our distressful fatherland. Apparently, Russia as the subject keeping the rests of the Soviet sovereignty, the verdict is already signed. With it many actually agree talented analytics of completely various political views. Our management has agreed to the American control over the Russian nuclear objects or not, basic value has no. And arrest of Adamov, former minister of nuclear power, in Average Russia is constructed by whose diligence a huge burial ground for nuclear waste products of the countries of Europe it confirms. On basic plans of the Washington strategists, ‘velvet revolution’ with the subsequent decomposition of the country will interrupt delivery energy for the powerful German industry. In conditions of increasing economic problems to authority in Germany there can come the right radicals that will call into question attitudes of the country with France. And the sheaf "Germany-France", as is known, is the locomotive of the European Community. USA controls Near-Eastern oil already. They can put also corresponding impacts on power resources own forces, or forces of it strategic ally. In the long term America has an opportunity to try to export ‘velvet revolution’ to China.
The global elite, standing up for backs of public politicians and bureaucrats of the European Community (and also senators and congressmen Demparty the USA) easy traces an event. Among its members the opinion prevails, that America will stick in the Euroasian chaos. And it is rather useful for prospects of globalization. Therefore, globalisty Superelites are tactical allies of administration of Bush in business of export of revolutions in what we and have made sure by the example of Ukraine.
Alex Fantalov. Cambodia.I have tried to apply the theory on the countries which have been not considered by Lev Nikolayevich Gumilev. For example Cambodia. Till 6 centuries AD in the south of Indochina there was a civilized state Funan, with refined culture. In 6 century to the north from it vassal princedom Chenla (it is possible to tell – ‘in result passionary push’) has sharply amplified before. It subordinates Funan, and begins expansion on the north of peninsula Indochina – ‘a phase of rise’. To the middle of 9 centuries AD possession Chenla reach almost all Indochina. Historians name the country of this period Angkor empire. The phase of rise has borrowed 250-300 years (that corresponds to Gumilev ‘s theory). In 9 century began construction monumental Hindu temples, (which till now amaze imagination). From the point of view of the period of development typologically they correspond to Gothic cathedrals in Europe, and are expression of the collected energy ancient Khmers. This collected energy translates ethnos in ‘acmatic phase’. Creation of more and more monumental constructions proceeds, top here is enormous Angkor-Vat – the main temple of empire. It has been created at king Suryavarman II (first half of 12 centuries) which conducted numerous aggressive wars with neighbors (Southern and Northern Vietnam). Wars and ambitious construction have ruined the country which has entered the first period smut, accompanied with intrusion of soldiers of Southern Vietnam. From crisis the Angkor Empire is deduced by King Jayavarman YII. It gromit neighbours also builds last great temple – Bayon. In Bayon there is no such severity and clearness, it is more chaotic and bears features of the reference to the Buddhism (begun at this king). Jayavarman YII was last great governor of empire. After its long board (1181 – 1218) the country enters in new, this time long crisis – ‘the period of a break’. Thus, ‘acmatic phase’ was prolonged also 250 – 300 years. During a break the Thais interfere from the north, having created on territory of the country the state – Thailand. Vietnam has become independency. Cambodia is included into the modern borders. In the beginning of 16 centuries in territory of the country there is a strong national state. New Cambodia successfully reflects intrusions from the east and the West, Europeans mark rather high standard of well-being of the population. The basic religion is the Buddhism henceforth. Well-being of Cambodia was prolonged prior to the beginning of 18 centuries. This period can be correlated with ‘an inertial phase’ on Gumilevu. Then decline – convolution (‘obscuration’ according to Gumilev) has began - agonizing phase. At first Cambodia turns to arena of struggle between neighbours – Vietnam and Thailand. Then it is occupied by France. During the Second World War the Japanese soldiers have visited land. But also the restored kingdom has not found happiness. King Sihanouk has renounced authority and was selected the president of the country (with the populist-socialist program). Then it was will overthrow the pro-American protege Lon Nol, trying to carry out ‘liberal modernization’ (which anywhere, including in Russia anything good has not brought). The American advisers have generated Lon Nol big army which carried out retaliatory actions against Vietnamese guerrilla. And the aircraft of the USA bombed these woods (here special "merit" of Nobel winner Henry Kissinger), some hundreds thousand peasants why were lost. In village hatred to cities which chastisers left began to grow. Ground this hatred as the monstrous mushroom has grown the Pol Pot. It has destroyed all other guerrilla leaders, has broken Lon Nol and has borrowed cities then at 24 o'clock has moved all inhabitants in jungle. The population of the country has been divided into three categories. The first – "undermen" was subject to full eradication. Here concerned, members of royal family, monks, intelligency, officers, bourgeoisie, communists – a word, everything a little allocated from masses. Members of the second category (basically – inhabitants of cities) were subject to re-education on labour works in jungle, and to selective eradication. At last, the third category – poor peasants and backward tribes were considered as a support of a mode. But later and against them retaliatory actions have started to be carried out. The Vietnamese army – the best in the world on stability and endurance has released “Democratic Kampuchea”. For three years of the board the Floor Sweat, Ieng Sary, Khieu Samphan, and other figures (many of which have finished Parisian Sorbonne!) have destroyed from one and a half (the western data) up to three millions person (the Soviet data). Now the population of the country makes about four millions (in 12 century the population of one capital – Angkor totaled 700 thousand person). It is possible to assume, that the ethnos was included in a condition of a homeostasis (on Gumilev) – balance with an environment. Certainly, above-stated it is possible to count all ‘adjustment of materials’, but to make though, something better, than to not do anything. The modern researcher should pass in the narrow way between Haribda pseudo-scientific demagogy and Scylla of limited specializations.
Alex Fantalov. Ethnogenesis and a modern science.Really – passionarity is impossible (or it is very difficult) to measure quantitatively. But you can see this quality in a reality. This is ability of some people to make the acts which have been not directed to satisfaction of elementary biological needs, and thus the compulsions not dictated by any form? Certainly, the nature of passionary is complicated matter. Gumilev assumed, that this consequence of the certain space radiation – ‘passionary pushes’, drawing strips on a body of the Earth. Though it did not deny also other reasons – internal radiation of a planet, divine will … Certainly all of this is "fantastic". But what is it a science? This is concrete historical phenomenon which not always was, and, probably, not will eternal. Ancient Greeks did not know the science – they had a physio-philosophy. Plato and Aristotle it is absolute "un scientific". The Orient has not created science also. The science as the form of comprehension of the world and, simultaneously, public institute, has arisen in Europe New time, on the basis of methodology of medieval scholasticism, antique physio-philosophy and east technology. As the engine here has acted Promethean fire of the Western world to unlimited expansion. Thus the majority of the countries and did not manage "to adopt" the western science. The abundance of scientific institutes in all parts of the world should not deceive us. As a rule these are scenery, simulacra. Talented scientists in the Third world, certainly are (clever people are everywhere). But they work in the West, being a part of the western science. And not only for money, but also in order necessary moral-professional climate in their countries is not. The scientific school has arisen in Russia, Japan, well it can be still somewhere. And how it is found out – not so for a long time (in view of crash in Russia and stagnation in the Country of the Rising sun). Thus it is not necessary to mix a science and technology. Chinese have invented gunpowder, a compass, publishing without any science. Indians of Central America deduced new grades of agricultural plants and operated with chromosomes, not knowing genetics. So, the science is the special historical phenomenon, and, as such – is not eternal. Knowingly speak about crisis of modern scientific idea. For instance: the modern science shares on corporate and state. The main task of the first is to prove, as far as production of corporation is useful to the consumer. The state science sees the main sense of the existence in acknowledgement for a long time known theses, or – in reception of negative result. «Negative result – too result». Man-hours and so forth to prove are exhausted money, that those or other phenomena cannot take place under any conditions (are resulted variants of conditions). All the matter is that a science never moved institutes in modern sense (the same as art was not moved by academies). All this nonsense, that a modern scientific idea is created by the big collectives, has no attitude to a reality, and serves interests of chiefs and mediocrities. And to talented people it cuts wings, and, hence – cuts wings to the Science. Each opening has got the concrete author. As any national fairy tale or the epic saga (that did not speak about collective creativity in folklore). The genius fought, suffered sneers of "public" and "management", then died – and there was a masterpiece. It also is passionary. By the way, the same situation has developed and in philosophy. The world philosophical congress (three thousand participants several years ago has taken place!). One of was present journalists told, that has been surprised ‘ordinary face’ of modern philosophers. And funny explained it: these people supposedly have got used to argue on clever things, and think easily, why do not arise on persons of a wrinkle. Probably, these philosophers think much more easy their great predecessors (at which process of thinking leaves traces on face). Keep to the point, however. Gumilev is the historian. And the history is not the exact science, despite of all attempts (in something successful) to apply here mathematical methods. Show me the historian who can mathematic precisely build forecasts of the future? On what adore mathematical formulas economists. But, as all history of the twentieth century shows, that is, the period when economic theories were in the enormous authority, everywhere, where they applied – business came to an end poorly. Historical experience shows, that really successful economic policy professional economists, and people, with knowledge of a real life, and having carried out not political will. Gumilev’s theory of much cannot explain. For example – growth of a modern techno sphere. In a number of concrete cases scholar, really resorts to stretches or is simply biased. The situation in Russia, for example, appeared more tragically, than it thought (or spoke). The break in the twentieth century has burnt out a huge part passionary, and stayed is directed chaotically, has no uniform vector and, hence its cumulative force is small. But, at all lacks Gumilev’s the theory (which as I already spoke, a little limited name ‘the passionary theory’ - there there are also other important points) difficultly to find more successful system of sights at historical processes (certainly, much Gumilev borrowed predecessors, for example, Spengler). Unless written by scholar several decades ago about ancient China was not a prediction of some details of a modern Russian life?
Alex Fantalov. "Wow! ", or once again about privatization."Voucher" (voucher is «the receipt, the voucher, the guarantee").
The majority of Russians remember investment pyramid MMM largest in Russia and its founder Mavrodi (or heard about it). The most interesting, that, probably, this person was not the swindler and really was going to return to investors of their money with promised enormous percent. How? There is privatization passed and state property has gone from a hammer «at residual cost». Hence, MMM pick up big money on those times, could participate actively in process and turn into the largest Russian business-structure. Mavrodi was mathematician and he has counted all. But he understood nothing for socio-cultural processes. And the communist nomenclature of USSR has created the privatization not in order to chunks of the property have got to natives of bottoms (mum Mavrodi – the teacher, the daddy – the worker of cement works). Therefore the usual mechanism of liquidation has been started. In mass-media messages on forthcoming audit MMM began to appear. After this message were denied, and then appeared again. There was this audit. The frightened investors have run to receive the money back (with percent). Clearly, that thus it is possible to make bankrupt any bank (if it does not possess the right of monetary issue J). Money is in a revolution, also will quickly return them it is impossible! And the business-structure appears insolvent as has not fulfilled the promises. Examples nest numbers. Hardly later we had «check investment funds» (to not confuse with present Russian «share investment funds»). They were created for accumulation of the vouchers given to the population («on account of its share in Soviet riches»). The idea was, certainly, witty. Really, if these funds were not, the Russians would incur the voucher directly on the works, and at once would find out, that it costs not «two autos» (as it was promised), and – know that … And so person has brought it in any “the First voucher fund”, "Majestic fund" and so forth, and year-other hoped for something. And then, he has tired and has forgotten about it. Our family, for example, has enclosed vouchers in Petersburg «General investment fund» and Moscow "Alpha-capital". When, half-year later, I have gone to take an interest in promised dividends, in savings bank have declared, that «the assembly of shareholders» (!) has decided «to direct means for long-term development of fund». I, certainly, on what especially did not hope, and here and in general all became clear. But, nevertheless, true to my habit to finish business, I have gone in some more months to the specified address. "General" there did not appear, but its new address has been left. Has passed there – about it anybody and did not hear. There is on a house wall the inscription left by someone from grateful visitors flaunted with a number: «you are swindlers!». As for "Alpha-capital" that situation was still ridicule. My relative, similarly having lost their trace, has passed to corresponding branch "State Property Committee" and there with it have so hotly sympathized, that the woman left touched and moved. It is curious, that, as against independent employer such as Mavrodi, these funds were headed by the ranking officers who were carrying out ‘the task of a party». And, when they have executed it, easy went for other work – who «in authority’, who in business-structures. That against someone criminal case on charge in swindle has been begun, I did not hear. And the TV, in its favorite manner, has explained to investors, that they "have spent on drink" the vouchers. And the journalists advertising these funds, also have promoted (much even have entrusted messages own "reality and author-shows"). The advantage of vouchers for "elite" has left double. First, year at the population illusion kept, that Yeltsin with his comrades, cares of it (not that «this opposite Supreme Soviet USSR»). In the second, under covering of vouchers original privatization has passed. These years there were all present large conditions in Russia which are looked in "Forbs" so beautifully. But their owners – not couple Mavrodi, they representatives of the noble Communist surnames.
Alex Fantalov. April 23 Still life.Still life. Two works, one in the realistic, another in the decorative manner; size is wider A4, pencil, watercolour.
Systematic recommendations: From different objects, which are located in the class, or prompted by imagination, the trainee composes still life. Pencil sketch at first is carried out, and then composition along the diagonals is transferred to the basic size. The first task is carried out in the realistic manner. After refining image details and after obtaining the linear figure, trained it passes to "filling technique". In the realistic painting it includes three stages: A) fill background and draperies; b) fill the objects (by smaller smears than drapery); c) are copied the formed sharp contacts it is colour they are superimposed shadow (with the aid of which all objects "are connected" into single whole). Then, the trainee converts the linear figure of still life to another sheet (using the illuminated glass-). This duplicate is intended for the independent work, which is carried out in the conditionally- decorative manner. It is constructed according to the already familiar principles. At first, the trainee fills objects with patterns so that each element would be the locked form. Background also is divided on the part, but over the larger area. After this, each part pours with their colour. Work takes the form of mosaic, but in this case any object must feed by one-piece spot, without merging with the adjacent. One version of exercise to permissibly carry out in by heat colouring, another in the cold. Into the centre of composition it is possible to introduce the colours of opposite range, then it will contrast with its environment. The work on each of both versions must occupy pain 3 training it is hour.
Task: To attain the proportionality of parts and elements of work, relationship of "large and small". To introduce the concepts of "rhythm" as the alliteration of identical elements and coloring as the varieties of the nuances of several close ones it is color. To give the elementary bases of realistic painting. To clearly show that there are two different approaches in the depictive skill: realistic (volumetric) and conditionally- decorative (planar). Occupations assume independent work.
