Can we talk about that anti-tank rifle the three soldiers (first in white) are holding as the IS-2 drives by them?

One of them, the one that now drives in Lešany is an early one, but the others were late tanks made in early 1945 that did not even make it to combat once.

The elevation thing is wehraboo bullshit. It is not true and it never was. The practical rof during stop is about 3,5 rounds per minute, the 1,5 goes for on the move loading. Also the firepower of the 122 just rips off the frontal plate, or spalls it catastrophically. Even ZiS-S-53 kills KT through frontal armor by spalling on the inside at about 300m. There is no need to pen the german overhardened armor. Western guns did not have enough caliber to do so, but Russians, who relied on big guns did not have many problems.

Exactly. I don’t say I find D. Cerny art something special, but he is an artist, the same way you are a blogger. Or “blogger”?

Could you, SS, tell us who, from contemporary Czech art scene, you consider true artist and who is known beyond his/her hometown namepost? I’m just curious.

But what is “quality” in art? Some artists are only appreciated years after their death, does that mean that while they were alive their art wasn’t art enough? And it even seems that SS is against the concept of money being the appreciation of the art quality (which I slightly agree, but maybe in a different way).

Let’s say it like this, D. Černý is considered an artist by:
- his buyers
- his peers
- not a small part of public.

Is that enough to be declared as an artist?
