Holy 90s. A Country in the Shadow

Can a historical era be absolutely bad? What really happened to us back then? The 90s — a time when we were at our worst, a time that showed us all the worst in ourselves. This transitional period. The 90s shaped us, our parents, our country, our borders, and our habits today. We should be glad for everyone who survived the 90s, did not lose responsibility for themselves and their children, and retained a sense of Homeland. We must not forget the 90s. A continuum, a continuity of memory about this treacherous time, an era of victorious evil, the triumph of banality and baseness, is necessary. This book is an almost schizophrenically diverse, eclectic heap of phenomena, situations, and trajectories of the 90s — consisting of two streams — textual and visual. For the first time, more than 170 photographs are published, capturing a wide range of life manifestations in the 90s — from the funny to the frightening.
