"Empire Twilight:  Moldova" by Rosemarie Forsythe, 16"x20" Mixed media on board.  The background of this painting is made of my declassified diplomatic reporting cables from the final years of the Soviet Union.  I was a US diplomat posted in Moscow and sending back accounts of the tumultuous end of an empire.  I traveled across the 11 time zones and 15 Republics of the country, talking to Republic Presidents, opposition groups, authors of independence declarations, dissidents, young people, and scholars.  I spent a lot of time talking to officials who were trying to draft the Union Treaty to keep the USSR intact and to Republic leaders who were testing the limits of sovereignty.  It took seven years to get the reporting cables declassified through FOIA, and I’m using them as backgrounds for this series.
