"Flaunting" is also a social order of the young USSR, when the craftsmen of Vologda, Yelts or Ryazan woven five and six-meter lace panels unimaginable in scale for all-Russian exhibitions designed to demonstrate the country’s aspirations in space exploration and the construction of the "bright path".
