In "Poor People" Ilya Kabakov talks about the origins of his work, the tragic fate of his mother, who influenced the worldview and the subsequent formation of the artist. Together with his wife and co-author Emilia, he talks about unofficial art in the USSR and the emergence of Moscow conceptualism, about his emigration to Europe and the USA, and how, after a “30-year exhibition hunger” (in the Soviet Union, Kabakov refused to exhibit publicly), he received a worldwide confession. Today, his works are included in the collections of the world's leading museums, including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the National Museum of Modern Art Center Georges Pompidou (Paris) and the Kunsthalle (Hamburg).

Dyed hair, earrings in the ears, bright clothes - an image that is very different from the Kazakh standard of masculinity. This is how the main characters of this look, members of the Kazakh group Ninety One. Many will not find anything unusual in the image of the musicians, however, the group's popularity among Kazakh-speaking teenagers caused great indignation in part of the society, which led to street protests, disruption of concerts and pressure from the authorities. The emergence of Ninety One revealed a whole layer of social and cultural conflicts within the Kazakh society between urban and rural culture, between traditionalism and globalization, between the vertical of power and personal freedom.

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."
