The Last Soviet Artist is a collection of graphic reportages published by n+1 in 2025. The book was written over the course of the Victoria Lomasko’s trips across the former Soviet republics. The first part of the book describes society in Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia and the North Caucasus: gender rights, grassroots initiatives, fragments of Soviet heritage and new trends. The second part focuses on the Belarusian Revolution of 2022 and the last major protests in Russia on the eve of the full scale invasion of Ukraine: what happens to the lives of ordinary people in times of historical change? The third part of the book was written in exile. These three sections are united by a central subject: generational conflict in the post-Soviet space. The book won the 2022 Free Voice award from PEN Catalan and Prix Couilles au Cul pour le Courage Artistique at the Festival de BD d’Angoulême.
