When the Bolsheviks took over Russia in 1917 they "promoted party hacks, corrupt opportunists, and semi-literate elements from the lower classes into positions of power" (Orlando Figes, A People's Tragedy).
Sometimes history reads like news.

From an exhibit of defaced currency at Toronto's AGO. Small exhibit, more art than vandalism. Sergio Guillermo Diaz, acrylic paint on Argentinian two-peso note (Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge)

Indigo Books in Toronto today. Vandalism of vandalism? For context, Reisman and her husband run a charitable foundation (HESEG) that covers tuition and living expenses for former "lone soldiers" in the IDF who wish to remain in Israel to study after they've completed their military service.

Until about this time, this *would* have been called vandalism. In the early 20th-c, Americans redefined the word for everyone else to mean the youthful vandals most people imagine today.

Hi all just moved in from X. I used to write about Canadian books, now writing about destruction. I'm not sure what the connection is either. Maybe just because there is no connection. Follow if you wonder why people break stuff. Or if you already know.
