IT'S SUPER! So what is your problem?

The Krasnals mural "It's SUPER!" - can be seen as a commentary on the excessive and inexplicable optimism of Poles facing deteriorating situation. 

IT'S SUPER -  The Krasnals Mural in Lublin (Poland). 2012-07-03
Organized by The studio of socially engaged art "The Districts”

"Jest Super" T-Love
Look at those amazing highways, 
Roads, without any potholes, 
New buildings are rising and there are no accidents, 
In clean hospitals people are rarely dying 
We have an amazing government and great president 
All those people are incredible professionals 
I trust them, and i know I've chosen my future, 
They will take my hand and guide me to Europe. 

It's great 
It's great 
So what is your problem 

We are very tolerant against other opinions 
Church is defending the poor 
Rich people are cool and quite honest 
Police is catching and punishing criminals 

It's great 
It's great 
So what is your problem 

The Mural received third prize in the competition for best murals in Lublin:

The Krasnals contra Femen / Diversity Parade



Femen is a side-effect of the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, which as you know ended with even greater symbiosis between politics and business elites. In addition, it includes all the features of a commercial product that can be absorbed by the West.
And nothing is better for selling in the West than a pinch of eastern exotic colored with communism, with the addition of one of the guiding leftist thought as the feminism. It's all immersed in the sugar-icing of several supporting populist slogans presented by posing Femen 'models'. When Femen criticized the efforts of women who are prostitutes and who want to earn some extra money on Euro 2012 and when they stated unequivocally that the action of the Krasnals against them is nothing but a provocation organized by men - pimps, suddenly we saw the light. Their work is done on such a scale that is quite likely that the girls are just pawns in a larger project, which has completely different goals than proclaimed in their feministic slogans. There is involved a huge capital, the entire staff of people and technical background has been hired to handle this business.
These aspirations slowly become clear and visible also on Polish territory, where they begun to collaborate with a radical left organization Political Critique, and Palikot Movement left party takes them under their wings. The same happens in other countries. You can easily guess what might be the next steps. And here we return to the beginning of the text. And here we have in front our eyes examples of activists, intellectuals and other socially engaged artists who actually do nothing for ordinary people. But they have the financial income from their activity and the corresponding social position among elites. They build new rows of authority, the newest variant of totalitarianism, as it already manifests with their lack of tolerance for other views.

Femen pseudo-feminism has nothing to do with the clever, intelligent, systematic, persistent work on behalf of women. 

The same people who support Femen and their ‘fight’ for women rights, sneer at women at The Krasnals photos. And this is especially due to their appearance – that they are thick, have overhangs and the breasts of Femen are nicer. No such tits, no such body, not the weight, that they are far from the appearance of Femen, etc. (a lot of these comments, whose authors are supposed supporters of feminism and feminists, are on the Femen website and on facebook under their riposte to The Krasnals!) It’s worth noticing that representatives of Femen have been chosen following the western standards and in the way fully acceptable by the West, to suit to pictures in colorful magazines. They practice visual discrimination against ordinary women. There is no feminine naturalness, diversity, and any imperfections. Femen breasts and bodies, selected according to accepted standards, don’t to feel 'ashamed'. These girls are full time employed, manipulated and used. Also, paradoxically, we stand up for them and defend from posing for pictures in the leather jacket on a motorcycle, to Marie-Claire magazine and the Femen Triple Blow.

The current session of The Krasnals "Diversity Parade" in the orange costumes of Dwarves looks back with nostalgia at lost ideals of the Orange Revolution from 2004. In contrast to Femen, in this session pose usual girls. This is also a distinctive manifestation of critical art directed to the newest varieties of approaching totalitarian systems, which are characterized by extreme right-wing homophobia!

Ukrainian Feminists Femen call Polish women WHORES!

.
The great success of artistic provocation - Polish artists The Krasnals exposed the hypocrisy of Ukrainian feminists Femen!

.
What is the true face of FEMEN feminists - who call other women whores? 

STOP AGGRESSIVE FEMINISM!
.
The Krasnals managed to expose the action of Femen. It is once again confirmed that pseudo-leftist activists which are also Femen, represent fanaticism and show lack of tolerance towards others.
.
Femen feminists, who fight for women's rights, reacted aggressively to the appeal of 'substituted' Polish prostitutes demanding their rights and treating EURO 2012 as good occasion to earn some extra money. Although created by The Krasnals Manifesto of Independent Polish Euro-prostitute was written with tongue in cheek and had a surreal character, Femen treated it seriously. They did not refer with their answer to the artists, but to the faked prostitutes – and didn’t called them women fighting for their rights any more - but WHORES! They didn’t refer to any problems of these women and their rights, but smeared them in a typical for communist activist way.
Unless they don’t know the English language and they simply didn’t understand what they read. And the most important demand of The Krasnals was to touch the so-called salon of pseudo-left artistic community - of artists, activists, hypocrites, who are not guided by the idea of their work, but their main goal is gathering high profits by serving the appropriate political propaganda. And this kind of prostitution - now widely cultivated especially among this so-called leftist pseudo-intelligence - is far more unethical than the world's oldest profession practiced by women.Once again activists identifying themselves with these circles, were defeated using their own methods – The Krasnals just showed them the mirror. Femen without resistance fell to their knees and were ridiculed.
Feminism has many faces, it has many good guidelines, but unfortunately there are plenty of communities that use it only for their own interests, not vesting at all to people 'in need'.

This is how Femen answer to The Krasnals Manifesto of Independent Polish Euro-prostitute:http://femen.livejournal.com/211941.html

We decided to see what different women think about Femen:
