Located amidst a dystopian Moscow in 2050, a minority rediscovers variety of spatial tools. Tools are derived from the collapse of the Soviets and utilized to reconstruct the reality against this totalitarian regime that controlled the truth. Collages narrate two realities distinguished by their blurriness: fictional and objective. They tell how world was misinformed of the Soviets, while its people suffered of democratic and economic poverty. Or how pictures in media differed from how people lived: the Soviet Realist paintings were commissioned to display the happy working classes, but seldomly the sufferers. Soviets toppled because the fiction ended, and the Dependent Territory of Belyaevo is the story in repetition in 2050.
