The purpose of the photoproject "Monisto" is an attempt to compare and somehow to confront two historical phenomena. On the one hand, the demolition of the historical buildings and the restoration of ancient costumes prove the theory of "the spiral evolution": it is in the human nature to destroy and recreate something. All the heroines of the photo session demonstrate reconstructed or stylized national costumes of the Bashkir nation. The photographing took place in Ufa near the historical buildings threatened to demolition.
