The beginning of the 80s was marked by the creation of the "˜Group of Political and Social Posters' as part of the local branch of the Russian Union of Artists. It was a period of participation in many different national and international contests and exhibitions of posters with quite a number of awards and diplomas. For a decade (1975-1985) I was engaged as an artistic director in the amateur student theatre of NETI and was awarded the prize of the All Union Festival of student theatres for artistic design of performances.
