Exactly a month ago, we celebrated the birth of one of the most influential and outstanding people in the USSR, Sergei Parajanov.

Sergei Parajanov (January 9, 1924 – July 20, 1990) was an Armenian film director and screenwriter who invented his own cinematic style which was out of step with the guiding principles of socialist realism, the only sanctioned art style in the USSR. This, combined with his lifestyle and behaviour, led Soviet authorities to repeatedly persecute and imprison him and suppress his films.

He was born as Sarkis Hovsepi Parajaniants in Tbilisi, Georgia to artistically-gifted Armenian parents, Iosif Parajanov and Siranush Bejanova. He was an incredibly talented person who had the ability to show you the beautiful colors of the world, take something uninteresting and unattractive and transform it into something magnificent and breathtaking. Parajanov's films are full of allegories and metaphors, small important details that one might miss easily if they are not familiar with the eccentric worldview and borderless, unlimited imagination of Sergei. Some of my absolute favorite films directed by him include: "Ukrainian Rhapsody" (1961), "The Color of Pomegranates" (1969), "The Legend of Suram Fortress" (1985)...

He died on 20th of July, 1990 in Yerevan, Armenia at the age of 66 because of the lung cancer.

In a 1988 interview he stated that, "Everyone knows that I have three Motherlands. I was born in Georgia, worked in Ukraine and I'm going to die in Armenia."

Stained glass windows in the administrative building of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was one of the largest in the Soviet Union and the poster child of the Soviet nuclear power industry. As such, little expense was spared on details like these windows.

The Soviet Union often used motifs in abstract art to promote Communism and laude their successes.
