"Peresvet , Oslyabya, Divine Gloom" it is a Visionary, Contemplative Art work, a realizing of the sense of which one is based on the interpretations of the "Mystical Theology" by St.Dionysius the Areopagite .Divine Gloom it is, actually, an Apophatic ( via negativa) term, which means the Divine Light, though an inaccessible for a perception. Divine Gloom it is an expression of the entering to the Ultimate Reality - that one, in comparison with which one, any image and name (including imageof the Saint or the national hero) is a fruit of the dual human mind work and it is no more than a conventional notion, which exists only at a certain level of consciousness in the Relative. St. Alexander Peresvet and Andrei Oslyabya - two monks warriors, which lived in Russia in the 14 century and which took part in the Kulikovo battle . They were pupils of a mystic St.Sergius of Radonezh , which having the Divine will on himself, sent them for a help in the battle to Russian prince St.Dmirty Donskoy. Before the great battle Peresvet had an starting duel with the Mongolian warrior and being killed, anyway won it ( remaining to seat in the saddle on a horse). They are national Russian heroes and Saints.., they are surrounded by angels, mystical animals and symbols. These are the Cataphotic ( via positiva) notions, - an assertion.
Korolev's idea was in the representation of the two pathes of perception (negative and positive) in one, for an actual neutralization of them both and a letting a way to manifest that One, which can not be expressed neither by an assertion of an image and a sacred myth, nor by it's total rejection
