H-Hour
For the installation H-Hour I used some objects from my private collection and family archive. 
It’s my memories about the time of the Cold War - the childhood nightmares and fears that the war can start at any moment. Our training lessons in nursery which taught us how to put a gas mask on and hide under the table after the bomb explosion. I was fascinated to learn that my friends from the US had exactly the same experience in their childhood during the Cold War’s crisis. Now, yet again we are going through a new Cold War. Why? What’s for?
We know perfectly well that Ordinary people do not need wars and as history shows they never the ones who start them. Politicians are the ones who send people to die, usually for no reason. Well, apart from the greed, personal political agendas, ignorance and egos. Ordinary people are the first ‘to pay the price for the incompetence and arrogance of political leaders who have proven in the past, and the present, to be incapable of resolving problems peacefully. Any war is a reflection of the worthlessness of the political establishment. Ordinary people do not start wars – politicians do. People just foot the bill for the wars.’ (Nekrassov, 2015)
This project is dedicated to the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty
