-With the October Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks wanted to free the peoples from tsarist bondage. Independent democratic republics were founded in 1917/18 in Azerbaijan and Georgia as well as in Armenia. All were subjugated again by the Red Army in 1920/21.

-The Soviet Union deliberately drew the borders of its republics in such a way that there would never again be unity or attempts at independence within these borders. The borders of the republics in the Caucasus did not necessarily unite ethnic groups, but forced minorities to coexist under the primacy of russian culture. If necessary, by deporting entire ethnic groups. Divide and rule. Today's world must endure the consequences of this brutal policy and somehow come to terms with it.

 Putin leaves the Russian "holidaymakers" and emigrants in Armenia alone, even if he calls them traitors. Now everything has become more expensive because of the many wealthy Russian guests who not only stay in hotels and bring money into the country as tourists, but compete with the locals for housing and everything else. Some of them behave condescendingly, like the real owners.
-Armenian state television does run the Russian version of the Ukraine war, but you can easily get other information if you want. One can also speak publicly about everything one thinks. Although Russia is not a good friend, one cannot afford to have Russia as an enemy here. Even if you can understand Ukraine's struggle for independence as well as you can. I tell an Armenian businessman that my Ukrainian friend Krysia says Russia is not a state, but a prison for nations. That definition is spot on, he says. But what is a country to do that has no reliable friends?

-===== 11 May, performance =====
+===== 11 May, screening =====
 I am showing my painting film at the Goethe Centre Yerevan. As an announcement, the centre writes in Facebook:
-"In the EU week we invite you to the presentation of Stefan Budian's multimedia art project - "The East of the West" and a talk with the artist on 11 May at 6:00 pm! The artist is travelling through Armenia to expand and complement his project in the far east of the West as well - the exchange with the Armenian audience contributes to this. With his project, Stefan Budian wants to open up a space of association in which the people in the "East of the West" find themselves reflected and at the same time become recognisable throughout Europe."

-There are not very many people there, but nevertheless there are deep encounters for me. I think this kind of performance is at the same time a model session for the portrait "The East of the West" I am working on.

 How can I sum it all up? It is complicated and threatening.
-Armenia is a nation trying to become a state. While in Azerbaijan I saw a state trying to become a nation. On Sunday, the day after tomorrow, the two heads of state will meet in Brussels, maybe there will finally be peace? But there was shooting at the border yesterday, here in Armenia it is quite clear: a provocation by Azerbaijan so that they have a reason to prevent peace.

-A postscript: the Armenian alphabet was designed by Mesrop Mashtoz between about 403 and 406 AD. He wanted to translate the Bible into Armenian, which was probably not a written language until then. I can't think of any other script that I have heard of that was invented by one particular person. Especially not one that has now been in general use for over 16 centuries.

 "Thank you" in Armenian is written like this: "Շնորհակալություն". Pronounced: "Shnorhakalut'yun". There is no abbreviated form of it, you say "Merci".
