A story by Elena Makarova – writer, journalist, educator, art therapist, exhibition curator, member of the International PEN Club - who left the USSR in 1990, moving to Israel, where she still lives today. In a brilliant, subversive manner based on personal experience, Makarova reveals the behind-the-scenes of Soviet society's (not)coping on a micro level with the sudden change in narrative, the crisis of values, the absurdities and the rapid political, social and cultural changes of the perestroika period following the era of stagnation. And all this is exemplified by Khimki - a gated city in the Moscow region – representing the model of the state in miniature.
