WHO WE ARE

 

    

Tales From The East

The 20th Century has witnessed the birth and death of one of the greatest political "experiments" of human history: the one produced by the "October Revolution" and the first society inspired by Marxist philosophy.  An experiment which, beyond any judgment, profoundly influenced the life of all the inhabitants in our planet in the 20th Century.

The speedy dissolution of the USSR and the current dramatic transition stage are inevitably leading to an equally fast dissolution of its memories.

 

 

 
 

Women and men, workers and scientists, intellectuals, artists and government officials became the protagonists of a single, immense laboratory.  Dreams, desires and needs quickly started to produce an original vision of life, of man and the world.

Meanings, values and concepts sometimes appear different or even opposite of those of Western culture, forcing the West itself - beyond what appears as a simple struggle between good and evil - into a lengthy and profound reinterpretation of itself.

This enormous human laboratory is the subject of EST, and especially those men and women who now, though not for long, form its living memory.
