ON MAY 9 OF EVERY YEAR, THE COUNTRIES THAT WERE PART OF THE SOVIET UNION CELEBRATE THE VICTORY DAY, A COMMEMORATION OF THE WIN OVER NAZI GERMANY IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR. THE WAR WAS ONE OF THE STANDS USED TO GENERATE A GENUINE PATRIOTIC PRIDE AMONG THE SOVIET CITIZENS. AFTER THEIR DISSOLUTION, COUNTRIES LIKE ESTONIA, GEORGIA, UKRAINE OR BELARUS HAVE BEEN GENERATING THEIR OWN IDENTITY, FREQUENTLY UNDER A COMMON THREAD MARKED BY RUSSIAN ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DOMINANCE. THE PROJECT IS A JOURNEY THROUGH THEIR URBAN LANDSCAPES AND THEIR PEOPLE, AND RUNS BETWEEN THAT COMMON PATRIOTIC PRIDE, AND THE RUPTURE. BETWEEN THE INHERITED ELEMENTS AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW ONES.
