About Us

The Slavic Art Alliance is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to preserving and celebrating the remarkable mosaic art heritage of the former Soviet Union—a tradition spanning over two thousand years with roots in ancient Mesopotamia. Our work focuses on regions that were once part of the USSR, where monumental mosaics have served as powerful mediums of cultural expression, political narrative, and artistic innovation for generations.
As urban development rapidly transforms post-Soviet landscapes, countless irreplaceable mosaics face destruction or abandonment. We document, research, and advocate for these endangered masterpieces before they disappear forever. Through our comprehensive digital archive, we catalog hundreds of murals organized by region, decade, theme, and artist—both celebrated masters and anonymous creators who worked under challenging circumstances.

Our mission extends beyond preservation. We organize educational tours, workshops, scholarly symposiums, and exhibitions that bring this unique art form to global audiences. By exploring the social, political, and cultural contexts that shaped these works, we help people understand mosaics not merely as decorative relics, but as fragments of collective memory and living history.

Found in grand metro stations, workers’ palaces, village chapels, and public squares across vast territories, Soviet mosaics embody the artistic spirit and ideological struggles of diverse communities. With their vibrant colors, intricate craftsmanship, and monumental scale, they represent one of the most distinctive visual legacies of the 20th century—and we’re committed to ensuring future generations can admire and learn from them.

Our Core Values

Preservation Through Action — We don’t just study mosaics—we actively work to save them. Through partnerships with local communities, municipalities, and international organizations, we implement restoration projects, advocate for legal protections, and provide technical expertise to ensure these artworks survive for future appreciation.

Education & Awareness — Knowledge is the foundation of preservation. We create educational programs, guided tours, workshops, and scholarly resources that help diverse audiences understand the artistic merit, historical significance, and cultural context of Soviet mosaic art.
