An invitation to a trip

Come to our festival "Island of the 90s"!
The entrance is free. The program is here

The last ten years of the twentieth century. The first ten years of new, post -Soviet Russia. Her youth. The time when everything turned upside down, all the winds blew at once and it was necessary to re -learn to breathe unusual and sharp air of freedom. A difficult time - living in an era of change is never easy. We do not want to idealize the 90s. But we do not want to put up with how they stubbornly paint in one - black - color.

Therefore, we open the "Island of the 90s."

Colta.ru is not the first time to turn to the experience of this decade . We have already made attempts to comprehend what it taught us . But the lessons of the 90s-the topic is practically inexhaustible; In addition, every new turn of our present life makes it a new relevant. And we thank our partners - the Foundation "Presidential Center B.N. Yeltsin ”(Yeltsin Center) and the educational portal“ Your History ” - for the opportunity to continue this conversation.

Why is the "island"? The real nineties-not black-and-white, not lit by the “dashing” label-still remain in many ways for many Terra Incognita , unknown earth, lost by the world.

We offer to open it again. See not flat, but voluminous and color. To realize how much the end of the decade differs from the beginning and even 1995 from 1994: then the month then went in a year, for a year-in three. Learn about the then feelings and moods first -hand. Look in a new way to well-known events and figures, primarily at Boris Yeltsin, whose museum opens in November in Yekaterinburg. Understand what this period of unprecedented opportunities, intensive searches, experiments and discoveries for literature, music, media, fine art, cinema, and theater meant.

We will try to recall the atmosphere of the era and collect its key heroes at our festival in the Moscow Museon Park on September 20.

We invite you with us to explore this world, because we are sure that this is not the past. It is not exhausted. There, on the island, not only the roots of the damned questions that stand before us today, but also the keys to many answers. And also - sources of inspiration and excitement, which are now so lacking.

The festival "Island of the 90s" will take place. The entrance is free. The forecast is good.
