But they were just poor farmers as far as I know

I had a relative who was a Don Cossack called Ivan Adeev and he was a Yesaul

So

This is probably him

He was high ranking

Which is pretty cool

He basically wast post captain and he commanded 100 Don Cossacks into battle

Found this interesting

@Mozalbete ⳩ yeah I would like the photos, it's just that they probably don't exist due to them being poor farmers

Do you LARP in it to honour his hard work and sacrifice?

Everything by Giovanni Gasparro is always wonderful

It is great that we have such a contemporary artist

Saint Blaise

Saint Nicholas

Do the one where he whacks Arius

Dab on Arius

No I don’t wear his uniform

I actually didn't know who the artist was. But i have seen his work before, I believe it was one with martin luther next to some.

I wonder what the multi hands mean

Swine*

He has many painting with hands like that

He has some.. weird ones
