I was asked to depict 20 years of Russian history for the company calendar. It’s a tricky one: so much things happened, yet it’s difficult to decide which ones were really making a difference. So here’s my interpretation of what’s been happening there during past 20 years.

— Putin, Khodorkovskiy, Maria Sharapova, Oil and a fragment of Moscow City

— Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, Yeltsin, Pussy Riot
