The exhibition presents the work of Russian artists of different ages and experience, displayed in various painting techniques and genres, united by one idea to capture the spiritual world of a person and its manifestation in life and culture. The idea of such an exhibition was born a long time ago, and now it has formed into a concept to present the work of both already formed artistic personalities with their own unique vision of the world, who have developed their own manner and painting techniques, and novice, young artists with a direct, open look at the world, untrained visual approaches reflecting their idea of people, their deeds, experiences, exploits, an independent vision of the reality being changed by a person and cultural transformation of space. Artists pay close attention to the transience of the flow of human life, the cyclical nature of natural phenomena, the passion of human nature, the strength of spirit, the height of spirituality, the depth of poetry, historical exploits, cultural traditions and embody in the images of their works.

Sex Work in Russia weaves together a wide range of materials to examine the figure of the female sex worker in Russia from the early twentieth century to the present day. This book offers readers both an expansive and nuanced discussion of the significance of this archetypal female who appears with remarkable frequency in literature, film, and other cultural productions. Emily Schuckman Matthews explores the ways in which the fictional sex worker (and her real-life counterpart) has become a symbolic representative of social and moral instability, economic volatility, political, social, and ideological revolutions, and changing concepts of gender, sexuality, and the nation itself. Focus is given to the movement of the female sex worker from marginal foil to a hero in her own right, even finding a voice of her own in recent years. Works featuring this alluring and complex figure reveal critical insights into the changing position of women and other marginalized people in a volatile Russia.
This edited volume sheds light on the lives of young people in various central and peripheral regions of Russia, including youth belonging to different ethnic and religious groups and who have differing views on contemporary politics. While the literature continues to grow regarding the inclusion of youth in global contexts, the specific cultural, political, and economic circumstances of being young in Russia make the Russian case unique. Chapter authors focus on four key aspects that characterize the youth experience in contemporary Russia: cultural practices and value affiliations, citizenship and patriotism, ethnic and religious diversity, and the labor market. This collection will appeal to readers interested in contemporary life in Russia and looking for the latest empirical material on youth identities and cultures, as well as those looking to learn about the critical viewpoint of local academics regarding the ongoing processes in contemporary Russian society.
