Twenty years after gaining independence from the USSR, many people have benefited from the great transition while millions still live in poverty. This groundbreaking exhibition unravels the enigma surrounding many of the forgotten ex-Soviet republics, and follows the stories of women and communities who are striving to build a better future.
