I begin my tale

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

It began even earlier, seventy-six years ago. In the very center of the Caucasus, in the mountains of Ossetia, in the village of Khardisar, my father, Nikolai Khugati, was born, together with his twin brother, Aleksei.

In our schedule, there are always clear and ordinary tasks. There are projects that demand the full exertion of the mind. And then there are those very tasks that belong almost to the realm of fantasy — the ones no one wishes to undertake because the chance of victory seems vanishingly small.

Yet reality is malleable. If you are armed with absolute faith and reinforce it with daily action, the scepticism and mockery of others become nothing more than background noise.
You continue to lay your strokes upon the canvas.
And at some point, the picture comes together. The impossible task is solved.

How did it happen? No logic in the world will be able to reduce your path to an algorithm. No one, including yourself, will ever be able to repeat that recipe exactly.

But the fact remains: the result stands before you.

You simply did not stop.
You believed, and you acted.

В удивительном и кошмарном мире мы живем.

Владимир Путин, террорист номер один в мире, под камеры собирает совещание в Кремле и на нем анонсирует на весь мир: сегодня ночью устрою очередной теракт.
И устраивает: по его приказу сотни ракет и дронов летят на жилые дома в украинских городах.
И весь мир смотрит уже привычно и очень устало и такой типа — ну да, ну а что делать, ну Путин он такой, все равно с ним придется договариваться рано или поздно. Серьезно?

Террористы — явление, увы, для многострадальной нашей планеты не новое. Но чтобы вот так открыто, куражась, публично они анонсировали убийства мирных людей — это новый уровень. Тут Путин буквально первый.

Он делает это не от хорошей жизни: денег в бюджете нет, волонтеров нет, продвижений на фронте нет, перспектив у войны нет. Он делает это буквально от отчаяния, и это делает его преступления еще более страшными: в них заведомо нет никакого «смысла», это убийства ради убийств, террор ради террора.

Поэтому хочется просто честно говоря по щекам хлестать каждого идеолога «нормализации» и «переговоров с Путиным»: ау, проснись, какая к черту нормализация? Какие нафиг переговоры?

Двадцать семь лет назад Путин, который тогда только начинал взрывать дома по ночам, сформулировал точный рецепт того, как (и где) надо поступать с террористами — рецепт, который мгновенно сделал никому не известного серого чиновника популярным политиком. Может быть, это единственная верная вещь, которую он вообще в жизни сказал.

@durov Hey, where's NEAR here?

[Roman Khugati @khugati]

@mironov_fm Сейчас практически капитуляция

[Roman Khugati @khugati]

@mironov_fm Я бы подождал ещё (до 65-70 000 USD) и брал

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

Goal of the Khugati AI NFT collection:
Opportunity for many web3 users to touch classical painting with a very low entry threshold.

Challenges and tasks I set for myself before creating Khugati AI NFT:
1. Invent a new style and narrative in NFT. Add beauty and history to web3.

@NEAR_Blockchain Hi, I'm from NEAR Legion, follow me

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

This is how the project was formed — Khugati AI NFT
NEAR contract: https://t.co/RUf3KJbENO

Khugati AI NFT is the collection of 10 000 unique NFTs.
AI interpretation of artworks by artist Nikolai Khugati.
Khugati AI NFT are NOT backed by an original work of the author.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

After launching the Khugati NFT collection (not to be confused with Khugati AI NFT), I began receiving feedback from many web3 users that the paintings were beautiful and they would like to buy an NFT, but the minimum price (200-300 USD) was too high for them.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2025
I tokenize all the paintings presented on the site — creating the Khugati NFT collection (not to be confused with Khugati AI NFT).

2023
Here, in free and democratic Argentina, my wife Valentinka (⤵) and I have a son born — Rolan Khugati.
And as I write… Rola grows…

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2022
Putin began a full-scale criminal war against Ukraine.
… My pregnant wife and I emigrate to another land — to free, democratic Argentina. With my father and mother we remained in constant touch.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2021
Father’s health grew worse. I came to Ossetia and helped him move back to Siberia, where my mother awaited him. There, under her careful care and after several medical operations, he began to recover.
Father continued working, though no longer with former intensity.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2019
… But Veronika did not give up. Twice each year for two years she invited us to the next Art Shopping salon.
And in May 2019 my wife Valentinka and I took some of father’s best works and flew to Paris.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2017
Then I began to understand why I made the site and the good photos.
I received a letter from Radzivill Art Fund — from Veronika, who promotes Russian artists abroad, inviting my father to take part in the Art Shopping contemporary art salon in Paris at the Louvre

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2016
While father painted… at last I bought a proper DSLR camera and went to him in Ossetia to make good-quality photos of the paintings — still not truly knowing why.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2014
… From colleagues at work I first learned of Bitcoin and how to mine it.
In the evening at home, on my laptop, I launched the miner — first and last time.

[khugatiAI @khugatiAI]

2013
While father painted… I took up a new craft: I wrote the first version of the site https://t.co/L1MeNgrplJ (later https://t.co/EglfRIFEn0) and placed there the photos of the paintings made four years before — simply to make them public, not knowing what to do further.
