Russian is an East Slavic language, which is official in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as being widely used throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It was the de facto language of the Soviet Union until its dissolution on 25 December 1991.

Art and research

Mythological and fairy motifs hold a special place in his work. Presnyakov combines fantastic themes with different genres and techniques (oil or watercolor painting, drawing, etc.); however, his works bear the author’s stamp linking together such diversity of styles and techniques. [6] The artist described his style as "frameless" and "patternless":

Initially, I don’t try to keep any frames. I think many creative ideas could hardly be restricted by such patterns, but both realistic and symbolic movements appear in my works. [1]

Presnyakov’s name is connected with development of so-called micro-movement. The artist created his works microscopically (with a microscope). [7]
