Comparative research
No absolute firstness claim.
Earlier political AI imagery and earlier Putin-related NFTs existed. The defensible value of this archive is its specific form: a dedicated forty-work AI portrait sequence with a complete February 2022 OpenSea chronology.
2021
Earlier political and Putin-related NFTs demonstrate that “first Putin NFT” is not a defensible claim.
DEC 2021
AI-generated Putin imagery existed publicly before this collection outside the present forty-work sequence.
FEB 2022
BEFORE 24.02 records a dedicated forty-work sequence between 18 and 22 February.
