Participate! Help us restore the Russian Avant-garde history!!!

This website deals with Russian Avant-garde in a way different from any other. It was created in order to restore the history, give back to the artists of the Russian Avant-garde the voice taken from them during the USSR persecutions. These artists are more than their works. They each have stories, personal tragedies, which teach us so many lessons in history of art and culture, of human nature and politics, of Power and freedom of expression. These stories teach us, one person at a time, about each artist's search for expression, struggle against oppression and dictate, their own personal solution to that conflict - or lack thereof.

For years the outlook on how this story should be told has been evolving in my mother's and then my minds, and is still growing, changing, evolving.  But one thing has remained rock true: 

These artists have had their voices stolen, clamped on, strangled, silenced. We are determined to give it back to them and to sound it for all to hear, loud and clear.
