Much of what today is considered outrageous sacrilege used to be totally alright in the Middle Ages, an era of almost universal religiosity. There are monkeys on margins of ancient texts, obscene figures on church walls, and saints with monstrous expressions. Where do such pictures come from and how do they relate to the subsequent development of what we call the world art? The first Russian popular science publication which covers so many subjects of medieval iconography was initiated by Suffering in the Middle Ages, group of history lovers with almost half a million members. More than 600 illustrations, unique texts and a bit of humour – that’s how we should talk about art.

Maizuls examines the gestures performed by demonic characters in medieval and early modern Russian art. He concludes that, while there is no clear gestural code, such gestures can be usefully categorised by broad functionality (gestures of instruction, command, obedience, defeat, etc.), and the kind of mythological characters that perform them. With the exception of the visual plots where the demons are tormenting sinners and the depictions of demonic hierarchy, the devil's chief role is to suffer defeat, exile, and ridicule. The gestures of demons and people often echo each other. This happens regardless of whether the gestures carry any specific meanings or serve only to highlight the general situation of bodily and/or spiritual disorder. This visual call-and-response, along with the
traditional markers of the demonic (raised hair, outward deformity, similarity to a beast, etc.), is one
of the core techniques of visual demonisation in early Russian iconography.
The present translation was produced with the author's permission. Part of it was submitted by P. Gudoshnikov as an extended assessed translation on the MA Applied Translation Studies Course at the University of Leeds in 2015.
