The name "Liazonovo", which was coined for the first time in 1963, does not signify a single aesthetic trend or aspiration.

According to Nekrasov “There was no group or manifesto, but everyday, specific business”. However this very “pluralism” made “Lianozovo” the cultural centre of its time.
See written catalogue for more details.
