‘The media unanimously commemorated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall but nobody has spoken about the 20 years since the end of the USSR.’ That’s why Jean-Robert Raviot, the curator of the USSR: endgame exhibition, chose to exhibit the period of perestroika or ‘restructuring’, a political movement in communist-era Russia between 1985-1991. It runs at the museum of contemporary history from 2 December to 26 February 2012
