The basis of the graphic series is a screenshot of the video of Alla Pugacheva's live concert in the Polish city of Zielona Gora in 1983. The audience burst into applause from the song "Harlequin", during singer's solo show at International Festival of Russian Song.
Alla Pugacheva is perhaps the most recognisable woman in the post-Soviet space. Her musical career began in the 1970s, the time of the so-called developed socialism in the USSR. However, this is only an official wording, because many also call those times a period of Brezhnev's stagnation (by the name of Leonid Brezhnev, who was at the leadership of the USSR from 1964 to 1982). This performance by Alla Pugacheva, like many of her other shows, is a real expose that many generations of people in the conventional socialist camp still remember. Alla Borisovna Pugacheva is our ultimate identity, our genetic code, our hope for tomorrow, an absolutely wonderful phenomenon of our culture in the pre-digital era.
