'''Ilya Iosifovich Kabakov''' ([[Russian language|Russian]]: Илья́ Ио́сифович Кабако́в; born September 30, 1933), is a Russian - American conceptual artist,<ref>https://docs.google.com/gview?a=v&q=cache:ATOKx0bwAOwJ:www.ilya-emilia-kabakov.com/biography.pdf+Ilya+Kabakov+Jewish&hl=en&gl=us</ref> born in [[Dnipropetrovsk]] in what was then the [[Ukrainian SSR]] of the [[Soviet Union]]. He worked for thirty years in [[Moscow]], from the 1950s until the late 1980s. He now lives and works on (contracted; show full)ern society, and in doing so he examines the rift between [[capitalism]] and [[communism]]. Rather than depict the Soviet Union as a failed Socialist project defeated by Western economics, Kabakov describes it as one utopian project among many, capitalism included. By reexamining historical narratives and perspectives, Kabakov delivers a message that every project, whether public or private, important or trivial, has the potential to fail due to the potentially authoritarian will to power.

==Early life==

'''Ilya Iosifovich Kabakov''' was born on September 30, 1933 in Dnipropetrovsk, [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]]. His mother, accountant Bertha Judelevna Solodukhina, and his father, locksmith Iosif Bentcionovitch Kabakov, were [[Jew]]ish. Ilya was evacuated during World War II to [[Samarkand]] with his mother. There he started attending the school of the Leningrad Academy of Art that was evacuated to [[Samarkand]]. His classmates included the painter [[Mikhail Turovsky]].
