During the orgy,the squad commander seems to see that the killed man is God. The murderer provokes God to have revenge.

Dmitriy Florin, a journalist: «Why is the performance that tells the story about the events of the year 1917 called «2014»?»

Aleksey Kolomiytsev: «That’s because there are too manyanalogies. What is happening nowadays (annexation of Crimea by Russia) is identical to what happened 100 years ago. It’s justthat there are Putin’s little green men instead of seamen-communists of Lenin».

«…the words are especially strong when they have twomeanings, when they are the live eyes for a secret and the second meaning shines through theglass of а trivial meaning…»(Velimir Khlebnikov)

Olga Dovgan-Levitska, a theatre expert: «The director Kolomiytsev is a resilient misanthropeand a fan of killing himself.»
