The film shows how a 23-year-old Moscow drug addict lives in segments for two years. As the title suggests, the film is a very personal, like a religious study of the Russian soul through the eyes of a suffering person. And this person wants the viewer to witness his fall. The grandson of the deputy chief of the Gulag, Major General Zavgorodny, Alexei Shubnikov is looking for meaning in mysticism and religion. He carries the burden of his addiction, like a lost Russian idea and soul, through psychiatric hospitals, family breakdown, oppression and public ridicule. True film is accompanied by Alexey’s comments about himself and social problems with drugs in the Soviet Union. Tragically alien, he twists, emptying, his soul. Gavrilov filmed the most striking footage with a hidden camera inside a psychiatric hospital. It’s like a scrap material for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The film has been invited to various major international film festivals. The author of the film, Georgy Gavrilov, became the youngest Member of the Union of Cinematographers, later taught a course on cinema in the USSR and worked on the next project at the University of Berkeley in California. The film was warmly supported by the country’s outstanding filmmakers – Alexander Zguridi, Rolan Bykov, Andrei Konchalovsky, who even invited G. Gavrilov to visit his film set for the film “Tango and Cash” in Hollywood. 1988 – Mannheim International Film Festival. The film was shown in cinemas in the USSR.

Alexander Chantsev was born in 1949 in the city of Torun, Poland. In 1973 he graduated from the Moscow Higher School of Industrial Art (formerly the Stroganov School) with a degree in Artistic Ceramics. The second prize of the International Olympic Poster Competition in 1980 gave impetus to the work in the poster genre. Several years of fruitful work in the circus poster followed, and during this period the individual style and technique of Alexander Chantsev gradually developed. In 1989 he was admitted to the Union of Artists. The film posters brought the artist international fame. Solo exhibitions of film posters by Alexander Chantsev took place in Rome in 1991 (together with Yuri Boxer) as part of the exhibition of Soviet film posters, which was held in the largest exhibition hall of the city – Palazzo delle Esposizioni. In 2001, an exhibition of movie posters by Chantsev, Boxer and Maistrovsky was held in the city of Tavira (Portugal). Alexander Chantsev took part in the largest exhibitions of Soviet and Russian posters, regularly participated in international biennials in Warsaw, Lahti, Colorado, Brno, took part in a poster exhibition in the Louvre (1989), the International Poster Festival in Chaumont, France (1991), in the exhibitions ” Russian social poster “in the USA (1991-92), Perestroika. Glasnost in Japan (1991-92), was awarded with diplomas of various competitions, a diploma of the finalist of the European competition of advertising EPICA in Paris (1992). Exhibitions of posters, in which Alexander Chantsev participated, have traveled almost all over the world, the originals and prints have ended up in the most famous galleries and in private collections in the USA, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and the Czech Republic. However, the rise of poster art, which took place thanks to perestroika and the resulting freedom, gradually ended, and interest in the poster was largely lost. New times have come when the emerging market relations have made completely different demands on artists. I had to master new genres – advertising booklets, annual reports, logos, corporate styles – and face a different customer. For the last seven years of his life, Alexander Chantsev was engaged in the design of exhibition stands, working as the art director of the Expoline company. It was a new business, and gradually the festive atmosphere of the exhibitions captured Alexander Chantsev entirely. Possessing tremendous efficiency and real professionalism, he managed to create many interesting exhibition stands for such companies as Lucent Technologies, Avaya, Alcatel, A&T Trade, KRKA, Shreya, Orimi Trade, Sunway, Mobile TeleSystems. Nevertheless, in Russia and the world, Alexander Chantsev is known primarily as a brilliant poster artist who belonged to a remarkable generation of artists. And the soft, good-natured humor of his circus posters, the philosophical metaphors of the movie posters, the sharp, satirical images of political posters will forever remain in our memory.
