NPOV

Though what happened was clearly an act of repression i do think it would be beneficial to wikipedia and this article in general if the wording was less emotive. People understand what is happening when government forces bulldoze an art exhibition, the word attackers doesn't need to be used several times. Were they also filthy godless reds? or henchmen of the evil empire? Cesar.vialpando 02:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

more sources?

I remember reading a firsthand account of this by Christopher Wren, one of the New York Times correspondents in Moscow then, where he recalls getting his camera smashed by some off-duty cop who was trying to punch him in the face.

It's in one of his books — the one devoted to his cat, actually — and it might make a good addition to the article as an English-speaking primary source. Daniel Case 04:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Rabine Roses.jpg

Image:Rabine Roses.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with File:MASTERKOVA-8101.jpg

The image File:MASTERKOVA-8101.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

the article is written very mediocrely, it contains more emotions than facts, the article does not contain the reaction of the head of the KGB Andropov, who called the dispersal of the exhibition by bulldozers cretin vandalism and the letter of the diplomat Aleksandrov-Agentov to Brezhnev, who followed this, in order to admit the mistakes of the police and the KGB and permission to hold once again a similar artistic action to the artists, which indicates that there was a lot of arbitrariness in the behavior of the police, and not just the direct execution of the decision of the authorities, which of course does not cancel the guilt of the party and the government of the Soviet Union Цйфыву (talk) 15:04, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
