Victims of the Revolution

As a result of the 1917 Revolution, Russia received complete devastation, red terror, dispossession of kulaks, massive repressions and the GULAG. As a result, tens of millions of people became victims of this monstrous socio-economic "experiment". Among the tens of millions of victims of the revolution are the intelligentsia and the most creative scientific and entrepreneurial stratum of society. The most talented and progressive citizens were mostly killed, repressed or expelled by the Bolsheviks.

She expertly visualizes atmospheric dreams, utilizing the uncanny and clever metaphor, while unlocking what it means to think, feel, dream and express in the modern world.
