Artist Vsevolod Ivanov: Fantasy of Ancient Russia

Artist Vsevolod Ivanov depicts his fantasy of ancient Russia in his paintings. He was convinced that the history of ancient Russia was distorted or fabricated. Ivanov collected ancient fairy tales and legends and created his own views on the daily life of his ancestors.

Vsevolod Ivanov combines his "Old Russia" canvases into a series called "Vedic Russia", where he shows the real reality of Russia's past. According to Vsevolod Ivanov, alien spaceships, domesticated mammoths, dragons, Atlantean-style architecture and mythological figures were part of ancient Russian civilization.
