The pace is so fast now, I sometimes feel like a gunfighter dodging bullets."

During our afternoon together, we discussed the plight of Soviet artists, and I left with two paintings hidden under my jacket (in case KGB watchers were about). On my return to Moscow this year, I saw a fully sanctioned exhibition of "unofficial" art not unlike Sitnikov's and felt deep sadness that he had not lived long enough...
