Viktor Sirotin
Viktor Sirotin is a contemporary artist, creator of a number of outstanding sculptural and pictorial works. Member of the Union of Artists of Russia since 1988. Participant of a number of Republican, All-Union and foreign exhibitions. Works are in museums of Moscow and Russia: the Moscow State Museum of Fine Arts named after A. S. Pushkin; the Moscow Literary Museum named after A. S. Pushkin; the Moscow Museum of Literature named after A. S. Pushkin; the Moscow State Museum of Fine Arts named after A. S. Pushkin. A. S. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts; Moscow Literary Museum named after A. S. Pushkin; Museum-reserve "Abramtsevo", etc., as well as abroad - in Greece (Athens), Moldavia, etc., and abroad. He received his basic education at the Moscow Higher Art and Industry College (MVKhPU, formerly Stroganov College); currently - Moscow State Art and Industry Academy named after S. S. Pushkin. С. G. Stroganov. Specialty: Sculptor.
In addition to fine arts and sculpture, Victor Sirotin actively works in the fields of history, philosophy and literature. He is a finalist of the international competition organized by the Institute of Philosophy of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow; theme: "Humanity at the crossroads: images of the future" (2009).
The collapse of the Union sharpened the researcher's interest in political science. And here, as in art, the author's range is very wide. Alas, for more than 15 years he was forced to write "on the desk" and in 1994 he left for the United States. To date, he has published eight books - "On the Scales of Timelessness" (2002), "Lermontov and Christianity" (2014), "Chains of Freedom" (2015), "The Great Evolve" (2015), "The Abyss" (2019), and "On the Deafness of the Blind" (2022), "Notes from Baisment I" (2023), "Notes from Baisment II" (2024), in almost each of which he provides a number of know hows and determines the reasons for the "turns" in the history of Russia, Europe and the world. In doing so, the researcher, using archives, philosophically convincing and logically clear substantiates his interpretation of the most important events of world history.
