During the Soviet present, each separate republic was part of a general socialist system. Inside (without taking into account the price that had to pay for it) there was a relatively prosperous vacuum in which Soviet citizens lived. An ordinary individual was generally confident in the future, in available labor employment, housing and communal conditions, education, health and other basic factors of existence.

However, in the last stage of its development inside of the state organism began to be formed “behavioral sink”, which started denoted the transition to a destructive and deviant behavior.

In the project “Universe 69”, I explored the causes of internal fracture of the Post-Soviet society on the example of the inhabitants of the city of Gyumri (former Leninakan), which was almost destroyed by a natural disaster on 7th of December in 1988.

Unfortunately, the city has not had time to fully recover by reason the collapse of the USSR. Until this day, the city lies partly in ruins are keeping not lingering scars of change. The experience of gained trauma acutely bared sensitive aspects of human subjectivity, has concentrated emotional side, which was making it as a carrier an irrational principle, while not offering nor any potential scenarios for the resolving the situation.
