Whether it was British pastors and priests arrested for sedition in World War II
for preaching against the bombing of German civilians, a Russian artist censored
for his powerful pictures, or the BBC and American tv and radio muzzling
the antiwar movement, censorship is an ongoing problem.

Apotheosis of War by Vasily Vereshchagin
19th Century Indians Blown Apart by British soldiers
Life is cheap to many generals and butchers
In the 19th Century, Vasily Vereshchagin's graphic paintings of the horrors of war were so powerful
they were banned by the Russian czar.

A ban was placed on exhibitions of Vasily Vereshchagin's works and on reproductions of them in books and periodicals
because the czar's authorities accused him of slandering
the Russian army. They are to this day censored
by many Western prowar media outlets.
In one picture antiwar artist Vereshchagin illustrates one of infinite
atrocities of British imperialism (still ongoing
in Afghanistan). Semanticists called
many Indian wars to remove colonial invaders
'rebellions'. In one conflict, sepoys who fought
against the empire
were tied to British cannons
and blown apart
by the pawns of
Anglican
Bonapartes.
Vasily Vasilyevich Vereshchagin's work has been
censored by many around the world because of the
graphic nature of his battle paintings, with which
he attempted to awaken the world to the horrors of war.
The painting of a hill of skulls is titled "The Apotheosis of War", underlining
the glorification of violence by the military and the hiding
of its hideous results.
This pile of skulls is only a tiny sliver of the 61
million deaths in World War II
