V–A–C Sreda online magazine presents a three-month programme dedicated to memory and its relationship to history, archives, and nostalgia. In this issue, we present a work by the artist Olga Chernysheva, whose Dream Street exhibition is on view at the GES-2 House of Culture until November 16, 2025.

...Moscow pulls human hopes toward itself. It is an imaginary city. For many kilometers, bus drivers travel to Moscow and then back again. Yet they see the city only through the windshields of their buses. The reflections of faces and the reflections of Moscow’s streets overlap and merge with one another. A new, delicate layer is born. This amalgam renders the presence of the characters ambiguous and creates a new form of the city’s existence. The call of Chekhov’s sisters still resounds. Can you hear it?
