"Rip City", "Borovsky portal", "open air museum" - as soon as any call this remarkable phenomenon. You come to a city and find yourself right in two.



The two cities of different ages share the space of streets, crossing on the walls.



Ten years ago, having retired, engineer Vladimir Ovchinnikov realized that knows how to draw. And he began "in pirated" to create on the walls.



Since then, in Borovsk were more than a hundred paintings, and the people were divided into two unequal camps: those who love his work, ... and the city administration.



After a couple of years, a small town just came to life on the flow of tourists, heard about the "city within a city". And no vandalism! For the first three years of the artist never had to repair the painting. Until then, until the local authorities intervened.



"Street art coloring drawing on the facades of buildings violates the protection of valuable historical environment, the current development of the city ... Breaking the traditional nature of the environment and land use, taking into account traffic safety in order to avoid visual misleading perception of street directions ..." - written statements by the chief architect of Borovsk and Vladimir Ovchinnikov continued to paint.



Local journalists have picked up the theme that you can inadvertently enter the picture, and that's the Moscow newspaper wrote that one taxi driver still did it. Media fanned the story in their reports have sounded, it happens every day, and the artist does not have time to constantly touch up their works. According to legend, Vladimir Ovchinnikov even painted on one of them - "Crying sky under your feet" away from sin fence. In the photo he had painted over.



Naked boy banging into this closed door, symbolizing the future, too, was not kept - insulting the feelings of believers.



A native of Borovsk Admiral Sinyavin appeared painted on the sewage station - this is very bad. Napoleon depicted in the former building of the police, insulted, according to the administration, the patriotic feelings of the residents.



"Imagine that in Moscow Shilov would draw on the Kremlin wall, and one he did not decree!" - Outraged the authorities.



"Assumption Street at the beginning of the century" and a frame with a fresco - as an artist nazyvetsya his paintings, from the same angle today.



"In our city there is a cinema" Rodina ". It - mosaic. Here you ask any Borovčanin that it depicts. No one will remember. Because this mosaic arts council affirmed. Get professional mediocrity. And my paintings known and remembered everything. Because I draw them away from the soul, not for the artistic council "- objected to the administration wizard.



Ovchinnikov begin fining and accuse the mayor of the town of Borovsk and Luzhkov are depicted near the garbage. After a few days in their place appeared an orange square. In response, the artist has restored a small part of the picture and an unknown vandal pririsoval hand tightly clutching a paint roller.

By giving, when the railroad was built, local merchants chipped in and gave a big bribe to the city she passed. To everything here was as quiet as before, that nothing has changed. The history of the artist's very similar to the legend. Vladimir Ovchinnikov stopped drawing on the government buildings, the benefit of private enough, the administration did not take active actions.
