"People's lives remain in letters." In 1993, working as the chief artist of one of the central newspapers of Kiev, Nikolay Sednin received an order to develop a fundamentally new font design of this newspaper. Studying the history and symbolism of the ancient Slavs, the artist creates images of the Russian alphabet based on one of the oldest variants of the trident - the nominal sign of the ancient Russian princes Rurikovich. Turning the ancient symbol at different angles, or mirroring its individual parts, the artist created the capital letters of the alphabet and a decorative frieze to decorate each letter. The project presented by the editor-in-chief of the newspaper at a meeting of the city Council of deputies causes a scandal, the artist is accused of pro-Russian sentiments and dismissed from office.
Nikolay Sednin returns to the project a few years later, during the period of studying sacred symbols, emblems, petroglyphs and art of the ancient peoples of Europe, India and the East. Each letter of the alphabet is formed into a separate composition with erotic symbols of male and female principles. In 1996, Versia Publishing house published a collector's edition of the book “ABC for Two“, which also includes sketches for the cycle. In 2010, based on the cycle “Russian Erotic Alphabet“, a video art of the same name was made. Since 2018, the “ABC for Two“ cycle has been on permanent display at the Nikolai Sednin House Museum.
