This image captures a multi-screen museum exhibit within the Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg, Russia, dedicated to the late Soviet and early post-Soviet periods. The scene is characterized by a dark environment with various illuminated screens and display cases arranged on a wall, showcasing historical photographs, posters, and artifacts. On the top row, a left screen displays a black-and-white image of a man, likely Mikhail Gorbachev, conducting an orchestra, with the Cyrillic word "Браво" (Bravo) written. Adjacent to it on the right is a vibrant poster on a screen with the Russian text "СМЕЛЕЕ, ТОВАРИЩ! ГЛАСНОСТЬ – НАША СИЛА!" (Bolder, Comrade! Glasnost is our strength!), featuring a red megaphone and a black silhouette of a walking person. To the far right, another screen displays a dark, monochromatic, possibly abstract image. The middle row features three distinct screens. The left screen shows a black-and-white photograph of military vehicles, possibly tanks or armored personnel carriers, moving through a densely crowded street, indicative of a public event or protest. The center screen exhibits a poster with hands holding an open newspaper, bearing the Russian slogan "ПЕРЕСТРАИВАЙСЯ, А НЕ ПОДСТРАИВАЙСЯ!" (Restructure yourself, don't adjust yourself!), a direct reference to Perestroika. To the right, a color photograph of a man, likely Boris Yeltsin, with his arm raised in a gesture, is visible in what appears to be a formal meeting or address. Below these screens, a series of display cases, protected by glass, contain various physical artifacts and publications. Notable items include magazines like "СССР ХРОНИКА ДЕСЯТИЛЕТИЯ" (USSR Chronicle of the Decade) and "Огонёк" (Ogonek), alongside a poster that reads "ЭТО НЕ ДОЛЖНО ПОВТОРИТЬСЯ!" (This should not be repeated!) with "1929" visible. A retro-looking yellow object, possibly an early calculator or computer, is also displayed. On the bottom row of screens, the left one shows a black-and-white group photo of several men. The central screen displays a striking red poster with a white, stylized glass pouring liquid onto a prone human silhouette, accompanied by the Russian text "АЛКОГОЛЬ - ПРИЧИНА ТРАВМАТИЗМА" (Alcohol - Cause of Trauma), reflecting the anti-alcohol campaigns of the era. The rightmost screen in this row presents a color photograph of a man, identifiable as Boris Yeltsin, and a woman, likely Naina Yeltsina, waving from an airplane ramp labeled "BRITISH AIRWAY." The entire exhibit is set against a dark wall, with the illuminated displays providing the primary light sources. The floor beneath is
