Constructivism is the Russian version of Modernism. It was a revolutionary movement in art, caused by the social and industrial revolutionary movements of the 19th and the 20th centuries.

1. Actually the revolution happened after Jewish bankers gave a large sum to Lenin to go and spread communist propaganda. It is wrong to assume that simply because there were problems with the political system, revolution just happened. Revolutions don't just happen, and often they need a push from abroad. I find it fascinating that Bolsheviks, who were by and large Jewish, were financed by capitalist Jews in America to create a revolution in Russia. This is a far more interesting question than how bad things were for the workers and the soldiers at the front.

Finally, I must say to your understanding of the Christian religion, Yes. Exactly!

18. Constructivist art evokes revolution of mind, Christian God evokes death upon hundreds of millions of people through crusades, killing those who think differently, killing freedom of thinking and freedom of expression. You, @jovanj777, with your comment demonstrate a clear proof of this extremist thinking. Go tell your God I said, screw the classic art and classic view of icons, Constructivist art is social art, its nature to nourish humanity. Your comment, only evokes negative thinking.
