For almost two years in Syria goes Civil War … During this time, tens of thousands of people were killed in the country and a significant part of the infrastructure was destroyed. But not all Syrians give up because of this. Some, for example, an artist Tammam Azzam, is inspired by this situation to create his works. Of course, Tamam Azam is terribly hurt because of everything that his home country has been going through lately. That's why he chose a similar way of self-expression! After all, he creates his works on the ruins, on the bleeding wounds of Syria precisely in order to draw the attention of the world community to the horrors of the civil war at home.
In the past few days, Tamam Azzam has become a real star of the Internet. After all, a photo of his latest work began to circulate on social networks, which is a copy of the famous painting by Gustav Klimt (one of the world's most expensive artists) "The Kiss", created on the wall of a building riddled with shells and bullets in one of the Syrian cities.
However, it turns out that this work is far from the only one in a series devoted to the civil war in Syria.
For example, Azzam also has a collage on which Mona Lisa sits and smiles with her enigmatic smile against the backdrop not of Northern Italy, but of a ruined street in a Syrian city.
Tamam Azzam's work "Syrian Spring" depicts a pomegranate overgrown with flowers.
And the unusual graffiti “Bleeding Syria” (“Bleeding Syria”) is stylized as blood stains on the wall left after the injury of a person standing next to it.
Azzam's works are saturated with blood, pain and horror of ordinary Syrians who have found themselves in an unenviable position, in the very center of civil confrontation. Therefore, these works are extremely honest and scary.

And then Vladimir Lenin removed him from his post, replacing him with Warrant Officer Krylenko. Dukhonin understood that death awaited him, but he did not run away.

How the Soviets eradicated the Cossacks: How many people became victims of the civil war and how they lived outside the law
The attitude of the Soviet government towards the Cossacks was extremely wary. And when the active phase of the civil war began, it was completely hostile. Despite the fact that some Cossacks voluntarily sided with the Reds, repressions were carried out against those who did not. Historians call a different number of victims of decossackization, but we can say for sure - the process was massive. And with the victims

What Canadians Did in Vladivostok during the Civil War
Canadian troops spent eight months in Russia, arriving in Vladivostok, when American, French, British and Japanese units were already stationed there. In fact, the interventionists from Canada were more like idle tourists: they never took part in the battles of the Civil War, being engaged in a foreign country only patrolling the streets and looking for entertainment. According to the memoirs of foreign soldiers, the period of stay in Vladivostok was remembered by the majority as a bright and easy time
