🎨 Today, we bring you the penultimate publication in our series exploring Russian history through art. The 19th century saw Russia confront Napoleon, expand across the Caucasus and Central Asia, sell Alaska to the United States, and undertake major reforms…
🎨 Today is the final post in our series exploring different eras of Russian history through paintings. We’re ending with a visual journey across 20th century Russia.
