Vanishing Space

   If to trust statistics on agriculture and population census which is conducted in Russia every year, in the near future villages will disappear, and people will move to a city. I try to understand the project «Vanishing space» why it occurs. Having started to remove one year ago, I have faced monstrous discrimination of human rights. About the people living there, have simply forgotten: it privileges don't stand out, they don't have health services and hospitals as a whole, "fast" refuses to come to them, there is no heating, hot water, schools, and remained are closed, leaving a trace only in memory, and in ruins of houses. The earths, almost for nothing, are redeemed by the private businessmen, refusing to employ local residents and to give them worthy payment. In this connection men leave in cities. In villages there are only women, children. Small-scale business is forced out large, without chance of revival, in an earthen furrow. All it gives rise in people unique, not to suitable feelings for a survival: uselessness, abandonment and the general deafness to their trouble.
