«The first conceptual entrance of STAN on the literary stage had been the poetry album «Take-over». The idea of the book now seems a bit doubtful. It was left-radical or even anarchist book.

The book has been published as a part of a project against gender violence in Ukraine. There was a collection of poems from 7 Ukrainian poetesses on the subject of gender specific violence.

Research projects aimed at analysis of the cultural situation in Luhansk and defining possible directions of cultural development of the city.

Theatre performance «Oscar and a Pink Lady» has been staged at the Luhansk Puppet Theatre based on the story by Eric Emmanuel Schmitt. Although it was a puppet theatre, there were actors on stage.
