A ban was placed on exhibitions of Vasily Vereshchagin's works and on reproductions of them in books and periodicals
because the czar's authorities accused him of slandering
the Russian army. They are to this day censored
by many Western prowar media outlets.

In one picture antiwar artist Vereshchagin illustrates one of infinite
atrocities of British imperialism (still ongoing
in Afghanistan). British semanticists called
many Indian wars to remove British invaders
'rebellions'. In one conflict, sepoys who fought
against the British were tied to British cannons
and blown apart by the pawns of British type
Bonapartes.




Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin's work has been
censored by many around the world because of the
graphic nature of his battle paintings, with which
he attempted to awaken the world to the horrors of war.
The painting of a hill of skulls is titled "The Apotheosis of War", underlining
the glorification of violence by the military and the hiding
of its hideous results.

This pile of skulls is only a tiny sliver of the 61
million deaths in World War II)
