Adjacent terrain: the visual register of Infrared's self-presentation — red banners, steppe and Mongol imagery ("armored Mongol horses" as Haz's figure for righteous trampling of enemies, IRAN WAR stream) — descends from the same fusion of icon-tradition and revolution that Petrov-Vodkin painted (Bathing of the Red Horse, 1918 in Petrograd).
