The head of the Ufa Administration, Ratmir Mavliev, published a post-riddle on his Vkontakte page and in Telegram.

"I continue to talk about the street art festival. Project "Memorandum". The work "Idel" on the facade of one of the buildings of the USATU (Karl Marx St., 12/4). Author - Alexandra Alshey.

According to Bashkir traditions and legends, Agidel and Karaidel once met and decided to set off together in the morning. Agidel woke up in the morning, and caught a cold. Wanting to catch up with Karaidel, Agidel jumped from rock to rock, from one mountain range to another, but she could not catch up. She turned back and went the other way. Therefore, if one bank of the Agidel was reared up with steep cliffs and high hills, then the other is a continuous plain. If one side of it is a lowland, then the other along its entire length is a mountain range.

The work is connected with the basic identity of the city - its geographical location. Ufa is located at the crossroads of two rivers; their historical names are Agidel and Karaidel (White and Black).

The Black one is cleaner than the White one, but its waters are darker due to the greater depth, it is easy to understand from the place of their confluence how their names appeared. In such a contradiction, it is easiest to understand the essence of the world around us with its features. Dualism is a doctrine proceeding in the explanation of existence from the presence of two opposite principles - material and spiritual, good and evil, black and white.

A small reference to the Aviation University is hidden in the work. A clue is a catchphrase from the work of a famous writer. Try to guess which one?
