The exhibition is a satirical "tale" written and illustrated by someone born after the collapse of the Union, someone who lived all their life in the realities of modern Russia, someone who has learned about a country that no longer exists only from the memories of the older generation, textbooks and, perhaps, memes on the Internet.

This project is an attempt to comprehend the past and the present of the country through the prism of the fictional state called "XVII", which has its own attributes of power and symbols: from the flag and anthem to a clear system of ministries and hierarchies.
