When Everything You Believed Turned to Dust
A woman stands in her Moscow apartment, surrounded by books she once treasured-volumes of Lenin, Gorky, Mayakovsky. Now they're worthless, tossed into dumpsters across the city like yesterday's garbage. She rescues them at night, unable to watch her entire belief system literally thrown away. This scene captures the essence of post-Soviet Russia: a nation waking to discover that everything they sacrificed for-the communist dream, the great empire, the promise of paradise-was built on sand. Through hundreds of intimate conversations, we enter the psychological wreckage of history's largest social experiment, where seventy years of carefully constructed reality collapsed overnight, leaving millions stranded between a discredited past and an uncertain future.
