This is not a traditional triptych, a kind of semantic trinity that allows a three-dimensional look at the artistic theme raised by the author. Ed Anischenkov lacked three dimensions, traditionally considered spatial. He added a fourth - but, is it temporary? Perhaps not.
This peculiar ATV, in contrast to the triptych, is not a return to K. Malevich's "Black Square" - where there is nothing. ("TV off") This is some, perhaps unconscious return to the method of the great Leonardo da Vinci, to his square - with a bodily harmonious person inside.
And yet the artist in this ATV managed to rise above the corporeal. The created system of four pictures is not a traditional space-time system. Here the artist raised the eternal, and therefore timeless essence of being - the harmony of truth, which is comprehended through pain and suffering, through the sacrifice of his own divine life, given in the name of others, sinful people …
And people remember this Great Sacrifice through the centuries, through it they learn the eschatology of being, constantly answering their own questions: to be or not to be; determining what is good and what is evil; what can be done and what is not, and, finally, what is beautiful and what is not … This is the essence of the moral perception of the world, which the Christian Church has been giving us for two thousand years.

Such a term as dual faith appeared, with which the clergy fought for a long time. To "erase" the ancient Slavic traditions, church and St
