Igor Aleinikov
In the 80s Igor and Gleb Aleinikov belonged to the school of Moscow conceptualism and took active part in art underground activities, working in such genres as mail-art, book-art, soc-art, and home-art. Brothers Aleinikov made history as founders of Parallel Cinema, experimental underground movies short on narrow film, the aesthetics and ideology of which were absolutely incompatible with the canons common for Soviet cinema. In March 1994 Igor Aleinikov died in a plane accident, a year after his brother founded the Cine Fantom Club.
