We identify ourselves with the Cinderella heroine, considers culturologist Maria Remizova: “In our reality, where there are practically no social elevators, one of the main myths is the fairy tale about Cinderella.

In medieval Europe, a tradition of carnivals arose, when people, hiding behind a mask, could throw out emotions that they do not allow themselves in ordinary life. Such carnivals lasted for several days and had a partly therapeutic effect.
We laugh at our tendency to deceive and self-deceive. “The cord mocks false values,” Yakov Kochetkov believes, “over the ideology of primitive consumption by those who want to be “like on Louboutins.” The exhibit is based on techniques known to Khoja Nasreddin, Vladimir Dashevsky believes: “The cunning man himself falls for his cunning.” It is difficult for us to be truthful: “We take random desires for true needs.
