# Vilen Barskyi

Vilen Isaakovych Barskyi (27 October 1930 – 24 December 2012) was a Ukrainian Soviet and German painter and graphic artist. He was a member of the Union of Artists of the USSR, Dortmund Group [de]. He was also a Russian-language poet, essayist, and author of experimental works of graphopoetry. He was a prominent representative of postmodernism, conceptualism and underground culture as well as a teacher.

## Biography

Vilen Barsky was born on 27 October 1930 in Kyiv, the capital of Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. His father was an engineer, and his mother was a pharmacist. His childhood memories were closely related to the Botanic garden, since his family lived across from it. During the war, the family was evacuated to Stalingrad, then, before the decisive battle, moved to Sernur (Mari Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic), and returned to Kyiv after the war.
In 1951, Barsky graduated from the Kyiv Art School (now Shevchenko State Art School) and entered the Kyiv Art Institute.
In 1957, he graduated from the Kyiv Art Institute, Faculty of Painting and Graphics. After graduating from the institute, he began experimenting in the field of fine arts, creating abstract compositions.
Due to his ideologically unbiased position, the artist came under pressure from the Soviet authorities. Thus, in 1959, after a home search, he was taken to the KGB office. As a result, he lost the right to government orders and participation in exhibitions for a long time, sharing the participation of the best representatives of the generation of the sixties.
In 1967, he joined the Union of Artists of the USSR.
In 1981, he left Soviet Kyiv and settled in Dortmund with his wife, the poet Olga Denisova.
He was a talented teacher. Among his students were Vera Veisberg, Olena Golub, Konstyantin Samoilenko, Nicholas Zalevsky, and Yury Kharchenko.
He died in Dortmund on 24 December 2012.

## Art

He listened to the philosophical and aesthetic concept of his senior colleague Valery Lamakh, set out in the "Schemes". He was delighted with the talent of director Sergei Parajanov.
Feeling various influences, Barskyi maintained self-identification. He experimented a lot, looking for new means of artistic expression: there are works made using an airbrush (1965), smoke and fire (1968), and a template of his own hand (1969).
1981— under the pseudonym Victor Belenin, he published six visual poems in the Ark magazine, published in Paris. In the same year, they are shown at the exhibition "L'emigration Russe. L’art en Voyage” at the Trans / form gallery in Paris.

## Etymology

The town was originally called Gablona. It was probably a term for a customhouse, where charges were levied for transported salt.

The Tichá Orlice River flows through the municipality.

## History

The first written mention of Jablonné is from 1304 as Gablona. It was founded in the second half of the 13th century, probably in 1285, when the Lanšperk estate was donated to Záviš of Falkenstein by King Wenceslaus II.
In the first half of the 14th century Jablonné belonged to Zbraslav Monastery. From 1409 to 1453 Jablonné formed a small separate estate. In 1453, it was acquired by the Kostka of Postupice family and merged again with Lanšperk estate. In 1507, Jablonné was bought by the Pernštejn family and in 1508, it was promoted to a market town.
In 1588, Jablonné was acquired by the Hřán family, and sold to Prince Karl I of Liechtenstein in 1622. His descendants held possession of Jablonné until 1918. In 1874, the railway was built, which started the economical development of the market town. In 1906, Jablonné was promoted to a town.

# Austrian krone

The Krone (pl. Kronen) was the currency of Austria (then known as German-Austria) and Liechtenstein after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (1919) until the introduction of the Austrian schilling (1925), and, in Liechtenstein, the Swiss franc.

## Coins

Coins included 20 and 100 Krone gold coins minted with the same standard as their Austro-Hungarian krone counterparts.
To ease the introduction of the new currency, 100, 200 and 1000 Kronen coins were minted right before 1925 with the same parameters as the equivalent Groschen coins (1, 2 and 10 Groschen) that replaced them.

## Paper money

According to the provisions of the Treaty of St. Germain the newly created Republic of Austria had to overstamp the old paper money of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire still circulating in its territory, then had to replace the overstamped banknotes with new ones, and finally had to introduce an entirely new currency.
To fulfil the first step, circulating banknotes were overstamped with the inscription DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH ("German-Austria"), and new banknotes were also issued with this feature. Later, still under the name Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank, banknotes were printed using the German-language clichés on both sides – and still bearing the DEUTSCHÖSTERREICH inscription. From 1920 on a new stamp appeared on banknotes: "Ausgegeben nach dem 4. Oktober 1920".
In 1922 a new series of Krone banknotes was introduced with a completely new design to fulfil the second step. The series contained 1 Krone, 2, 10, 20, 100, 1000, 5000, 50 000, 100 000 and 500 000 Kronen, later 10 000 Kronen (1 000 000 Kronen was planned but not issued).
In 1923 the League of Nations Financial Committee, with support from the Bank of England under Montagu Norman, provided a loan to allow Austria to stabilize the krone against the U.S. dollar in exchange for austerity measures.
In 1925, as the third step, the new Schilling banknotes were emitted.
