The choice of 1990 as a subject of study of the recent Russian past is not accidental: it was this year, which had fallen from the cultural memory of society and pushed into the shadow "spectacular" 1989 and 1991, was the key and turning point in the latest history of Russia, its events predetermined the subsequent development of the country .

In addition to blocks of analytical articles describing all spheres of the life of Russia and Eastern Europe in 1990, an important part of the number was the private diaries of that era (Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR, assistant M.S. Gorbachev, avant -garde artist, showmen, participant in youth unrest of 1990, Slavists etc)
