Ok, i'm not sure what to make of this, but the last link was not responding, so I closed it, and I got a cascade of fresh opening links to the same dead page.
I force-closed about 40 of them before I just hit logoff.
Reminded me of the old porn spam windows you used to get back about 2002.
So, maybe it was a random error, but beware Vista users. Note I had popup blocker turned on. posted by Ynoxas at 5:15 PM on June 12, 2007
Lobanov is great- he's been catching on as an outsider art-world darling the last decade or so, and his work is pretty widely known now. posted by Joseph Gurl at 5:17 PM on June 12, 2007
Fascinating. I like this one quite a lot. (Like a number of his others, it's captioned охотник стреляет хорошо [okhotnik strelyaet khorosho] 'the hunter shoots well.')
I see he was from Mologa, a northern Russian town that was flooded for the Rybinsk Reservoir in 1939; there's a nice site commemorating the town and its history, with a page of photographs of the way it used to be. (I posted about it last year—I'm a sucker for sunken cities.) posted by languagehat at 5:19 PM on June 12, 2007
The "himself" photograph is fantastic. posted by 3.2.3 at 7:34 PM on June 12, 2007
You're on notice, game designers: If you include a bolt-action double rifle in your new shooter, you now must call it the "Lobanov".
(Such weapons are actually very rare and peculiar, far less common than the standard old-fashioned "elephant gun" double rifle.) posted by dansdata at 8:34 PM on June 12, 2007
