Soviet Hippies at Red Gallery 2nd September (7-11pm) FREE ENTRY!
We are opening doors to reveal the parallel universe during the Soviet stagnation; the hidden world of hippie movement within Brezhnev's regime and repressive measure. The secret world that even Estonian people do not know much about, gives an impression of timeless freedom that breaks the rules and crosses boundaries.
Look forward to our Special Guest Speakers and dissident rock music from the Soviet Union.
