He remembers that many of his teachers had been deported to this neglected backwater of the Soviet Union as punishment for their artistic aspirations. 'I remember', he says sadly, 'they were proud but they were broken'. In 1986 Vladimir entered the Penza College of Fine Art (400 miles southeast of Moscow). It was here that Vladimir began to realize the inherent conflict of trying to become a great painter under a Soviet system that promoted uniformity. 'The credo of the artist must always be to offer a unique perspective', he says. Listings wanted
