About the project
Ugly family grave with rusty fence common for any russian orthodox cemetery all around Europe and Asia - that's how Russian death looks like. I have imprinted this image since childhood visiting the family grave with my grandma where she lies now. No matter who you are: soldier, policeman, political activist, labor veteran, senior developer or even president Putin, you will end up if you were blessed or cursed to be born russian. Death is your final right that won't be violated here. Ritual is sacred. Priest in golden robes will hold the ceremony under the sad gazes of saints from icons, then they put you next to native bones under a weird ugly monument as they did with your every ancestor before.
