Victor Ryabinin, a word with him after his death:
Thoughts on the second anniversary of Victor’s death<\/a><\/strong>
It is two years now, by our understanding of time, since Victor stepped out of time, but hardly a day goes by when we do not mention him. Since his death, Victor has become the benchmark by which we judge both the architectural and cultural developments in Kaliningrad and its region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

###############################################################<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To coincide with what would have been Victor Ryabinin\u2019s 75th<\/sup> birthday, a book has been published which celebrates and commemorates his life and work. Conceived, supervised and edited by Kaliningrad artist Marina Simkina, daughter of the famous Russian poet Sam Simkin, and Boris Nisnevich, author and journalist, this fascinating book contains personal memories of Victor Ryabinin and critical acclaim of his work and career from 28 of his friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Tour Guide Kaliningrad<\/a>
<\/strong>Stanislav Konovalov (Stas) was a student and close friend of Victor Ryabinin. In the months following Victor\u2019s death Stas supervised and worked on the emotionally and physically difficult task of dismantling, packing, transporting and storing the many and various K\u00f6nigsberg artefacts, artworks and assorted relics that once adorned and constituted The Studio ~ Victor\u2019s atmospheric art studio and celebrated reception room. Stas took detailed photographs and measurements of the room in the hope one day that it could be reconstructed as part of a permanent exhibition to Victor and his work. Sadly, Stas himself passed away in November 2020. We live in hope that someone will continue the work that his untimely demise left unfinished. This is Stas\u2019 story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor Ryabinin\u2019s Headstone K\u00f6nigsberg<\/a>
<\/strong>After quite a hiatus Victor\u2019s grave was finally bestowed with a headstone befitting the man and the artist. It shows Victor sitting on a stool in his art studio. He is leaning nonchalantly in his chair, relaxed, unassuming, in tune with himself, his life and the world around him. His right arm is resting on one of his art-historian creations, his left arm cradling the base. The artwork is an assemblage, a composition of assorted K\u00f6nigsberg relics assembled icon-like within a frame \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
