And yet, there is a difference between Russian and French impressionistic (2) Depiction in terms of their subject matter, light and colour scheme . 
As far as French artists were concerned, they portrayed life differently in (3) COMPARison to Russian painters. 
However, Russian impressionists never attempted to break away from (4)REALity.

Dear Lilya!I was on all the planets of the solar system! It was pretty fun. I was frosty Neptune, on the hot Mercury, on the strange Venus, on the stern Mars, the jovial Jupiter, on the cold Uranus, but most of all I liked Saturn.I always liked the rings around Saturn. And these rings are actually made of stones and ice. Sometimes the wind managed to demolish me. On Saturn, there are edible stones that my new friends told me about. They are really hallucinogenic. After an hour, we walked along the ruins of Saturn, found a cave, but we did not go there because there were blue lions there, I do not know how they turned out to be there, but they were. We rode on alien camels, they were from ice. They treated me to cookies. We sang songs. we executed a stone, it was bad, he ate sand. As a gift to them, I left a copy of the album with sketches from the sixth planet.And in the end, we saw the stars, and flying pink roosters dancing on green spaceships.I advise you also to visit SaturnWaiting for an answerYour Valera!
