Art4.Ru displays installations by Ilya Kabakov in an exhibition titled "Memories in of a Communal Kitchen." The installation is made up of eight notice boards and eight display cases with mounted objects such as scissors, spectacles and buttons. Kabakov created it in 1992, a year after emigrating from the Soviet Union and it was previously displayed in the Musee Maillol in Paris. This notice board includes warnings to residents not to let their children play near the stove or hang dripping washing over the tables. A notice tells residents that they have to get up at 9 a.m. on Saturday to clean the yard.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
