I love Vlad's revolutionary creativity breaking old patterns. This is now joined by my sympathy for the work ethic in the place where his works are created. You can see with the naked eye that the work is carried out in an atmosphere of mutual respect and performed by enthusiasts. And I am also glad that it takes place in Poland and thanks to the positive energy of the main person behind this project, it breaks at least a little xenophobia prevailing in my country. Because Russia is not only violence, contempt, murder and Putin. They are also people who, despite their high standards, are unable to change the world they come from, so they change it elsewhere.
