ЛA new episode of the podcast "Russian Avant-Garde: Past, Present, and Future" has been released. Dmitry Kozlov, a Research Fellow at the School of Arts and Cultural Heritage, talks about El Lissitzky.

The desire to be at the vanguard of the revolution being created gave a powerful impetus to the study of human creative potential in the schools of Filonov (the Collective of Masters of Analytical Art), Malevich (as director of GINKhUK), and Matyushin (the ZORVED school).

The July summit was dedicated to the role of modern smart cities in achieving sustainable development goals, as well as how the digitalization of urban economies can contribute to improving the quality of life. The forum brought together city leaders, experts, and diplomats.

Over thirty of his books were published by Detgiz, illustrated by many outstanding artists who were students of Malevich, Filonov, and Matyushin (including Lev Yudin, Vera Ermolaeva, Alisa Poret, Elena Safonova, Tatiana Glebova, and others).

We congratulate Stepan and wish him continued success in his academic and intellectual endeavors!
