Russia Through the Decades

A fast-moving collage presents stereotypical snapshots of Russian life from the early 1990s through the early 2020s: political figures, economic hardship, currency exchange, traffic, pop culture, social media, protests, cafés, VPNs, and the war in Ukraine. The Wojak-style characters change from hopeful or fashionable to exhausted and grim, turning the country’s decades-long transformation into an ironic visual timeline. DJ SMASH’s “Moscow Never Sleeps” supplies upbeat club music, creating a strikingly celebratory soundtrack for increasingly bleak imagery and making the joke feel both nostalgic and darkly absurd.
