«Финальный проект студентки Бариновой Светланы является одной из лучших дипломных работ курса «Изобразительное искусство» в Британской высшей школе дизайна. Светлана прошла огромный путь, придя на курс без навыков рисования, она, благодаря таланту, работоспособности и упорству, добилась удивительных результатов. Выбрав тему очень личную, мучительную для ее души, Светлана прекрасно раскрыла свои эмоции благодаря используемой технике экспрессивного рисования и ассамбляжа.»

On 20 august 1937 my great-grandfather Vasily Barinov was killed during the repressions (The Stalin’s Great Terror) at Butovo shooting range. He was sentenced to death for «anti-soviet agitation» by «article 58» of RSFSR penal code.
Vasily Barinov used to be an independent farmer and lived in province near Moscow. During the Revolution private households were forcibly transformed into collective farms, so many people suffered. Also Vasily had hired workers which was strictly forbidden by soviet laws.
But that’s not all. Communists destroyed orthodox churches and killed or arrested priests, and when that happened in granddad’s village, he organized a church parish at his house, which was the biggest in the settlement. Also his family was old believers christians (staroobryadtsy).
After the cruel arrest his house and all the property been taken by communists.
This is the only photo of him, from secret personal file, which was recently declassified.
