<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lemme Caution, post: 2901685, member: 90575&quot;]While the Imperial Regime of pre-Revolutionary Russia may not have had the best press among its own subjects, it certainly can&#039;t be denied that it oversaw the spawning of a period of creativity and a subsequent legacy of artistic endeavor that distinctly overshadows and far and away outclasses the abysmally depressing and esthetically pointless propagandistic output of the succeeding exceedingly dreary Bolshevik era.</p><p>Please Note: This is NOT a political opinion advocating the resurrection of Tsarist Russia, but rather a visceral reaction that is inclined to rank the artistic merit of exquisitely designed and stunningly realized Faberge Eggs above that of, for example, heroically-portrayed iron-jawed idealized soldiers, farmers, and factory workers painted in giant mural style on the sides of massive buildings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
