To properly contextualize Kostrov’s own place in the landscape of Russian art collectives would require a thorough historiography on the subject. Thankfully, Kostrov has done just that in this epic archival VHS accounting of Moscow squat culture. Beginning in the Soviet ‘80s and hypnotically colliding into the Putinist present halfway through, Kostrov traces a continuity of dreamers occupying the margins.
