Plac Piłsudskiego w Augustowie (1918-1939).

[mrdirtybear]

'Portrait of the artist Isaac Levitan' as painted in 1900 by Valentin Serov (1865 - 1911). Levitan (1860 - 1900) was a Russian classical landscape painter who advanced the genre of the "mood landscape", as well he might given how he was born in the shtetl, area of small towns in Kibarty, Augustów Governorate in Congress Poland, once a part of the Russian Empire now part of present-day Lithuania.

Maybe it's out of your area of focus, but there's some interesting fanon that parallels Eastern Europe (east of the Iron curtain at least) under Soviet influence with Latin America under US influence.

Latin America isn't canon in Hetalia yet, but they argue that America would be as big of a dick as Russia when it comes to Cold War interactions. What do you think about this?

Forgive me anon I spent an hour typing this out then today woke up in a daze having little recollection of the night before and soon realizing I never posted this.

You're actually in luck because I have a small amount of background knowledge around Latin America during the cold war. I speak Spanish so one of the ways I would practice was reading a lot of historical fiction and non fiction and my teachers also taught a good amount of this in class.

Now my base knowledge is eastern Europe so learning about these parallels between both the US and the USSR in this era was quite interesting. Coming from an Eastern European perspective, the US is seen to this day as the better of the two, which is understandable given our history. Now it's interesting because I find that in Latin America or the Global south as a whole, Russia/ The USSR tends to be viewed in a softer light. I've noticed this in Hetalia depictions as well.

I think this all comes back to believing the grass is greener on the other side when in reality both sides weren't doing too hot. For me it became apparent that stories like those talking about los desaparecidos feel similar to those told in areas near Augustów.

Now I do advise against viewing both powers as identical. Just because the US for example isn't perfect, doesn't mean the glorious communist revolution will solve all of your problems

Now as for Alfred and Ivan there's a lot of similarities between them during this period. Both have a certain naïveté to their mindsets. They both believe what they are doing is justified. However Ivan tends to view his actions in a mindset of utopia justifies the means, while Alfred acts because he believes what he's doing is right. Both believe that there is no middle ground it's one or the other.

Now their refusal to see shades of grey makes them frustrating to deal with if you're any nation caught in their sphere of influence.

Even before Hetalia I kind of jokingly would say that basically the cold war can be summed up to be akin to two girls arguing over who has more friends and who has more stuff and making it everyone's problem in the fifth grade. Basically if you're acquainted with one you better not hang out with their rival.

Now this gets annoying fast when these two are calling the shots, failing to see how they are impacting everyone around them.

Both use delusions of greatness to cope with the failures of their systems.

This is basically how it's described in any us highschool history class. Now freedom seems hypocritical when segregation was a thing and when there's lots of barriers in place when many try to exercise those freedoms. Additionally meddling in democratic elections in foreign countries feels undemocratic.

Highlighting democracy as a key difference feels a bit odd if you are Martín and expressing dissent will ensure your family will never be seen again.

Also how free are you to have an opinion when say you disagree with Alfred it means you are in favour of Ivan. To this day if someone says healthcare reforms there are people that say we can't do that that's communist.

Now Alfred's way of doing things is unstable while Ivan what you forfeit in freedoms you get hypothetically in equality and security. Your house rent is going to remain the same, your job is going to remain the same. Now just like the hypocrisy of Alfred Ivan is full of hypocrisy as things are never truly equal, strange how the government employees have access to way more than you, and somehow despite being equal your culture is discouraged.

Now for the question do I think Alfred is more of a dick eh not really. I think both Alfred and Ivan have a lot of power and they view that power like kids in a sandbox. Do I think they aren't dicks? Eh no, not really

Martin Imboden, Jula Isenburger (1929)

Jula Isenburger (née Jula Elenbogen, 9th January 1908 – 17th April 2000) was born in Augustów, but left her native Poland for Frankfurt at the age of sixteen to become a dancer. To continue her training, she and her husband, the painter Eric Isenburger, moved to Vienna in 1928. She took lessons in expressionist dance at the Hellerau dance school as well as with Gertrud Kraus. Eric Isenburger designed dance costumes for his wife during this period and in some cases also designed the stage sets for her dance group. In 1931 Jula moved to Berlin to work in Mary Wigman’s dance theatre. When Hitler came to power in 1933 and Eric Isenburger’s art was publicly vilified, the couple left Germany for good.

In Paris, Isenburger was able to build on her previous success as a dancer. Under the pseudonym Jula Géris she performed with her own program throughout France. As the political situation worsened, her husband was interned in Les Milles; thanks to her Polish nationality, Jula avoided arrest by the French authorities. After months of uncertainty and waiting, the pair managed to escape in 1941 to the United States. On their arrival there Jula stopped dancing, allowing her husband to begin his artistic career in America afresh.

Out of all Polish cities, which one is your favorite 😈

There are so many amazing cities in Poland, how am I supposed to pick just one?

The lakes and forests near Augustów on the way to Liet to the gorgeous streets of Zamość, there's so many places all with totally amazing things!

Of course any city can get dull after awhile so you gotta mix things up a bit time to time.
