• Палехская роспись
  [ palekhskaya rospis' ]

🔻Palekh lacquer miniature is a relatively young folk craft. After the 1917 Revolution, it was taken up by talented artists, former icon painters and masters of temple paintings from the village Palekh in Ivanovo Region.

🔻Artists focused their skills on "ancient painting". They depicted scenes from folk tales and works of literature, using the iconographic techniques.

🔻In the Palekh style, on a black background with bright red and gold colours, artists now paint mostly decorative items: often jewelry caskets or small souvenirs.

One more interjection starting with 'Ё':

• Ёшкин кот!
  [ yoshkin kot ]

🔻Some researchers believe that the word “ёшкин” could have originated from “ёжкин,” that is, literally:
"бабки-ёжки кот"
Baba Yaga's cat

Бабка-ёжка <- баба-яга
Baba Yaga is a character from Russian fairy tales.

🔻 In Paris they decided to perform a play from the life of Catherine the Second, where the Russian empress was presented in a somewhat frivolous light.

🔻Having heard about this, Nicholas the First, through our ambassador, expressed his displeasure to the French government.

🔻However, they say that in France there was freedom of speech and no one was going to cancel the performance.

🔻Nicholas the First replied that in this case he would send 300 thousand spectators in grey overcoats to the premiere.

🔻As soon as the royal response reached the capital of France, the scandalous performance was canceled there without unnecessary delay.
