Something is missing in Russia: Russia's political landscape is now having a blind-spot. Social Democracy is missing. That's at least what Russian journalists and political analysts are thinking, as it's been a decade and a half so far of them, waiting for someone to fill this blind-spot. In the run-up to the 2007 elections the issue of the Russian social democratic force is once again being tossed about by experts and spin doctors. At this point finding a generous investor seems to be enough to handle this issue. Ukraine, for instance, has got something that may seem to be a kind of a social democracy. To be more precise, even two of them - the United Social Democratic Party of Ukraine of Victor Medvedchuk and the Socialist Party of Ukraine of Aleksandr Moroz. Neither of them, however, are officially accepted members of the Socialist International. In other words, they don't posses a "quality certificate", issued by Western Europe. But does that matter?

monochrom is an art-technology-philosophy group having its seat in Vienna and Zeta Draconis. monochrom is an unpeculiar mixture of proto-aesthetic fringe work, pop attitude, subcultural science, context hacking and political activism. Our mission is conducted everywhere, but first and foremost in culture-archeological digs into the seats (and pockets) of ideology and entertainment. monochrom has existed in this (and almost every other) form since 1993.
