This original artwork “Mishka Yaponchik in Sochi (Lost Paradise)” was created by the contemporary Russian artist Evgeniya Maltseva  and is available for sale online.

Until recently, the word "chthonic" was used mainly by cultural scientists and other specialists dealing with ancient civilizations. This concept, seemingly far removed from modern life, denotes everything related to the dangerous other world and in Russian called evil spirits. But suddenly the word "khton" appeared in our everyday speech. Judging by how quickly this ironic neologism took hold and became common, it marks something that really exists in modern life. Evgenia Maltseva took on the task of sorting out this mysterious substance. Evgenia believes that the expression "Russian khton" can be used to define the state of the soul of a Russian person. Our domestic khton is probably far from its ancient Greek prototype - inexorable, like fate, and definitely destructive. According to the artist, Russian khton is ambivalent, dual. Similar to the elements of nature in their wild, untamable manifestations, it is multifaceted in its own way and is capable of turning into its opposite. It cannot be driven into the clear boundaries of good and evil.

The everlasting melancholy of a restless spirit easily prompts a person to undertake various kinds of destructive feats. But the same depressive spirit suddenly turns out to be capable of nobility and almost holiness. On the one hand, there is a craving for chaos, on the other, the ability for self-sacrifice and an eternal search for an idea for which even death is not terrible. Khton' has long become a kind of signature style of Russian reality, paradoxically acquiring romantic features in literature and in the consciousness of its bearers. Russian khton' lives in a collective worldview and does not lose its relevance, although, of course, it is scary to look into the abyss.
