Views of the Russian North by Yuri Ushakov, 1960s.
The wooden churches from the paintings are very old - most of them were built in the 16th-17th centuries. In those times the Russian North was a wealthy trading region, with numerous cities and villages.
Wooden architecture is traditional to the Russian North; and the best examples of it still survived. Despite nowadays the situation with the economics and population in the region is merely disastrous.
(By the way Zvyagintsev’s movie “Leviathan"is set in the Russian North)

so I read the comments on my last picture and here you go, they are competing on who can make it flashier, not shown above Solas conjures a giant fade stone hand and Dorian raises the dead to flip him off for him, Viv joins in at some point, it goes on for hours
I dont want to do anything bc I am embarrassed. Im embarrassed of everything. The way I look. The way I talk. The things I say. What my eyes are doing. The clothes im wearing. Even my thoughts are embarrassing. It doesnt matter whether or not people can tell what im thinking, they do and im embarrassed of it.

People accuse tumblr users of excessive black-and-white thinking and not fact-checking and like
they’re not wrong
but I don’t see tumblr being any more guilty of this than people as a whole so it’s really disingenuous to act as though this flaw is somehow something inherent to or a byproduct of tumblr
no it’s just people on tumblr being people
