Maria Prymachenko (1909-1997) was a famous Ukrainian Artist.<\/p>\n

25 of her works were in a museum\u00a0in Ivankiv, a city northwest of the capital Kyiv. On Sunday the invading Russian military burnt The Ivankiv Historical and Local History Museum to the ground. It contained 25 works by Prymachenko. Some works were saved.<\/p>\n

This one of hers was called\u00a0Our Army, Our Protectors<\/i>\u00a0(1978).<\/p>\n

This one is called Tiger Laughs (1982)<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe that anyone would burn down a museum containing such priceless works.<\/p>\n

Putin’s modest $1.4 billion country home on the Black Sea<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A\u00a0video uploaded to YouTube on Tuesday\u00a0purports to show the secret $1.4 billion palace on Russia’s Black Sea that allegedly belongs to Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

Alexei Navalny, the Russian politician and Putin critic behind the video, alleges Putin and his billionaire friends secretly built the mansion using illicit funds. The Kremlin denies Putin has any connection the property. (Yup, and pigs will fly.)<\/p>\n

The video, which has had more than 54 million views,\u00a0 shows drone footage of a lavish mansion and expansive grounds with two helipads, an underground hockey rink, a sculpture garden, and more.<\/p>\n

The video has closed captioning in English.<\/p>\n
