The monograph examines the work of the famous Russian painter N. K. Roerich in the context of historical events that took place in Sortavala in 1918, where the artist lived. The question is raised about the purpose of art in an extreme political situation, about the relationship of cultural figures from different countries in the most difficult periods of history. Articles written in the North are studied, in which Roerich raised the idea of nationality in art, turned to understanding the experience of the past. Articles about the work of N. K. Roerich published in the press of the countries of Northern Europe are analyzed. The book will arouse the interest of specialists and a wide range of readers interested in the culture of Russia in the 20th century and the artistic history of Karelia.
