I want to ask you: why do people do EVIL to one another? Why do they hate each other? Having come here I felt warmth and tenderness, pain and sorrow, purity and bliss. Something has changed in my soul. I don't want to go away. It is warm here*... I feel an influx of energy. It's just filling me. Invisible light - but I can see it. Rather, I feel it. It is radiating from your soul, from your heart. It is just a remedy for my soul. Everyone who comes in feels it.
Thank you. You have done a lot. For our souls...

Actually, inside the exhibition hall it is about + 15 C, colder than outside. ...
StilI, I would like to stay here forever. To stay in the world, created by you. Here there is a sincere, light joy, purity, inspiration. Here is the world, where the dreams and reality meet, where the dreams turn reality ...
Thank you!

All your Madonnas - luxe! I also liked the portrait.

Dear Alexei Vassilievich,
They used to tell me, that love works miracles... I never believed. Today I have changed my mind. Now I believe, that this is true about love. About Love, capitalized! It turns earthy women into Madonnas.
I would, probably, bring men to your exhibition (just oblige them to come!). Probably this would help them to understand, that it is Madonnas who are living next to them (divine virgins, and not rock-stars).
Thank you for your Love to the Woman.

There is a dictum: It is the woman, who brings sins, it is a woman, who brings salvation.
Mary gave birth to Our Savior. Your Madonna is a woman from the world of peace and prosperity. Your exposition is an answer to the pervert and corruption brought to our homed by TV and finding way to us through the kiosks. Thank you for your exhibition.

I liked the exposition of your Madonnas very much. They are really beautiful, even when their eyes are so sad. Although motherhood bring a lot of happiness! You perfectly managed to create the images of your contemporaries: Viktor Turov, Eremenko. I wish in future you paint more of earthly women, not only 'Madonnas'. You have a gift of tuning into the soul of a person and show it in your portraits. You can do a lot more than Madonnas. Please, do it! ...
I bow my head before the amazing job you have done. I am grateful for the beautiful images, for promotion of Motherhood and for resistance to death. We address to the Government with a request to allocate money to construction of a special museum, a Mother's Temple*.
*This suggestion was supported practically by everyone who wrote later.
...
It was really great. I 've never seen anything of that kind. Thank you very much*.

When entering the hall where the pictures are exhibited, you just feel light coming down to you, just powerful and warm light, which makes you tremble with delight, and the tears fill your eyes. The very special atmosphere makes you forget the routine, you just cleanse your soul, start understanding basic things, forgotten in your day-to-day life: the Mother, the Child, Love, Purity, Peace, Universe - all are united against the evil.
My gratitude from the depth of my heart,
V.Prokopieva Physician

Dear Alexei Vassilievich, I am impressed by your works, just can't help admiring! Leaving the hall I feel reassured, I feel, that I can go on living in this unbearable life of ours. I feel proud of my country and of the fact that we have such beautiful Madonnas.
I wish you the best and success in your work.
