WE CHILDREN OF THE 20TH CENTURY

We, Children of the 20th Century

By Vitali Kanevski

“We, Children of the 20th century” is a disturbing journey into the heart of a parallel world full of distress and alienation. With a smile on his face, Vitali Kanevski provokes the viewer in an off-hand manner and in tones of black humor. Standing before him are young Russians imprisoned for murder, a universe he knows well, having spent several years in prison himself.
