Exciting? What an odd choice of words

I'm just discovering that the things I have paid for, ie The New York Times or this Daily Art app, won't let you easily share it, it is only for the payee. Anyway I found a way to put the text to the picture here.


Offert. Meilleu
political figure, as well as a folklorist and ethnographer. His literary heritage is regarded to be the foundation of modern Ukrainian literature and, to a large extent, the modern Ukrainian language. He was also a painter; today we present one of his works.
In 1842, Shevchenko wrote a poem entitled Katerina. The poem was a sad love story but at the same time, it was addressing the issue of Russia imposing serfdom upon Ukraine, which was then a part of Russia. Katerina was a young girl, whose love was betrayed by a Muscovite or Moskal, which was a pejorative word used for Russian soldiers or Russians generally. Today's painting shows a scene from the poem, where Katerina (the symbol of Ukraine) said goodbye to her Russian lover (the Russian empire).
As we can see, Katerina, a pretty-looking girl, pregnant by the soldier, is walking on a dusty road barefoot. She is wearing traditional Ukrainian clothes. Under the tree, we see a sitting man. More importantly, slightly in the distance, we see Katerina's ex-lover sitting on a reared horse. Obviously, he is going to leave, so, despite the detail, his figure is somewhat vague.
Well, let's treat this painting like a prophecy.
DailyArt stands in support of the brave citizens of Ukraine who are fighting for their country and their sovereignty in the face of extremely brutal aggression, where civilians are the main target. Dear DailyArt friends, Ukraine really needs your help-here you

I'm sure a lot of people find war exciting. How about current?

I am sure you are wrong

In fairness to MU52 I think he means ‘exciting’ as in its something new and fascinating and shocking to people but sadly human nature is to move on to the next ‘big thing’ - for lack of a better word - and the people of Ukraine may still continue to suffer once the spotlight is off them.

Exactly this. But I hoped to put it in a word. Mistake because the only comments about the choice of word.

New Order used Taras Schevchenko as the title of a live video they recorded at the Ukraine National Centre in New York in 1981, I had it on VHS.
