The first of the six paintings, made in 1990.
The author portrays people as different mystical creatures. The queen stands in the middle, as the symbol of unity. All of the subjects surround her and some are seen in conflict with one another, which illustrates the first signs of turmoil in the Soviet Union. In the background, there’s a black hole that slowly drags all of the characters inside, hinting at the inevitable and tragic finale.

Started in 1991 and finished in 1996, the painting illustrates the death of the queen alongside her panicking subjects, desperately trying to bring her back to life. This is the author’s vision of December 1991, the moment of collapse of the USSR.

Made in 1992, this painting illustrates social chaos portrayed by a number of creatures in distress. The time when the fights would break out on the streets between people queueing up for bread and other lacking necessities. The desperation and chaos shown in characters depict their emotions and motives.

Made in 1993, this painting depicts 2 groups of people. One protecting the borders and their way of life, other desperately trying to breach through, looking for a better life. The author shows the events when people were escaping the country in great numbers, searching for a better future for their families elsewhere.

This 1994 painting again shows two opposing forces. But this time one side is fighting for survival while the other represents the organized crime and bandits roaming rampant across the former union. The criminal circles push with great force, trying to install a new order, run by aggression and chaos.

Made in 1995, this painting closes the collection and shows the new order. The abstract creature is the embodiment of lawlessness, dishonor, and aggression. A tumor that grows in size and power, inhibiting and consuming any resistance.
