These are All Manmade Artworks… There’s Nothing Edible Here

I think that Yolkin’s attitude to Andy Warhol is a little less than “reverent”… this doesn’t mean that he thinks that it’s piffle… but it’s certainly not complimentary.

Why Hungary? For one, Magyar is sufficiently different from Rusin to ensure survival of the language. Secondly, the Rusins were under the Kingdom of Hungary prior to 1914. Thirdly, and most importantly, the Magyars aren’t bent on destroying the Rusin people as the Galician Uniate fascists are. Galician Uniate “Consciousness” is a racist ideology very similar to Nazism. “The Ukraine for Ukrainians only!” “Knife the Moskals!” That’s why many Rusins are looking towards Hungary. That’s what I see, any road…
