British National Gallery Renames Edgar Degas Drawing 'Russian Dancers to 'Ukrainian Dancers'

April 3 (UPI) -- Edgar Degas' famous drawing previously titled "Russian Dancers" will now be known as "Ukrainian Dancers" after it was retitled by the National Gallery in London.

The decision, first reported by The Guardian, comes amid the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine which has led to the deaths of at least 1,189 civilians. The name change has since taken effect on the museum's website.

The pastel drawing, made on tracing paper, was created by the famous French impressionist painter around 1899. It depicts three women wearing white and yellow clothing and crowns of yellow and blue flowers, the national colors of Ukraine, dancing in a field.
 
This seems like a rather silly thing to be upset about.

Freedom fries was ****ing stupid. This? Eh. Gesture of disdain for Russia's behavior. Not quite the same.
 
To be honest I am finding it extremely difficult to care about this over the actual people dying in Ukraine right now.
 
Hey look sanman shilling for Putin again. And nobody is surprised. Here is the relevant quote that shuts down his pro-dictatorship / pro-mass murder whining:

“It is almost certain that these visiting dancers, and those drawn by Degas, were Ukrainian, rather than Russian."

He probably never even knew who Degas was or saw this painting before posting this thread lmao. Excited to see what the topic of his next pro-Putin thread is.

His boss handed it to him, and told him to spread it around the right wing social media sewer.

I notice the alleged source is UPI, which is owned by the Moonies.
