- 00:10: Introductions, and art under dictatorship
- 01:05: Dictatorship destroys creativity and art is a sensitive item that symbolizes changes in society. Art becomes stagnant under dictatorial rule
- 01:55: The beginnings of dictatorship and stagnancy in Russia. A unique and simplistic style, not outstanding
- 02:50: Criticisms of non-individual art and propagandistic messaging. A contradiction of terms, impossible to have complicated messages and individual messages under dictatorship
- 03:55: Russian artists, and the posthumously published art. When you cannot speak about things, your thought is limited. Loss of ability.
- 04:40: Verbal expression as a means of embodiment of thought. If you write something down, it gets a special form of clarity. Just thinking is not necessarily enough
- 05:50: Costs of not being able to think and the lasting generational impact. Do we get these things back the moment we are free? People tend to catch up when they have the freedom to do so
- 07:00: Russia now as a copy of Western works. The same TV shows, films, books and cheap imitations.
- 08:00: Summarizing the chat.
