Many of the inhabitants of the first cooperative house in Moscow were shot during the years of the Great Terror. Now the building is located at Dolgorukovskaya, 5, in the past it was Kalyaevskaya, 5. The family of Dmitry Belanovsky moved there in 1939. According to the story of his father, the former owner of the apartment, by the name of Gurevich, was repressed by the NKVD. For many years, Dmitry was haunted by the thought of what kind of people lived here before him, why they were arrested and how their fate turned out. It took almost twenty years to find information about the former tenant. Through his own, almost detective, investigation, he managed not only to identify this person, but also to find his relatives.

The name of Vladimir Ovchinnikov has been widely known in Russia for the last decade, just as long as the street artist lives in the city, which seemed to bewitch him. The city of Borovsk is a strange place, which has been an island of memory for many innocent victims since the 14th century. Boyar Morozova died here, archpriest Avvakum was imprisoned, victims of political repressions were shot. Here, Ovchinnikov suddenly began to draw on the walls of houses, despite the indignation of the authorities, since the "naive" graffiti artist is not 19 years old, but 80. Real passions began to flare up in the city in 2015, when Vladimir Ovchinnikov depicted his first "memorial to the victims of political repression."
