Vitaly Komar Russian Dissident Art Is Back On View In New York (Not Moscow)
Forbes May 06, 2026
As conditions in Russia begin to resemble the end of the Soviet era, threads of connectivity from that time to this become doubly prescient. The parallels are unmistakable: the Afghan and Ukraine wars, economic meltdown, increased censorship, communications isolation, multiplying dissenting voices despite severe crackdowns, and much else. Hitherto non-existent popular criticism of the Kremlin and its system is visibly emerging across Russia on social media. There was a time in the late Soviet and early Putin era when such criticism found prominent cultural and artistic expression, often achieving recognition abroad. Arguably its most historic names - Vitaly Komar and Marat Guelman - are now on exhibit until May 30 at a top New York art venue, in the Ethan Cohen Gallery’s two separate locations in Manhattan.
