Since 1989 Chilikov has been working on a travel series about cities in the Soviet Union. His series, entitled ‘ Photo Provocations’, ‘The Countryside Glam’, The Beach’, ‘The Gambling’, ‘The Philosophy of a Journey’  and others, depict the hidden eroticism of people of the countryside that appears even more vital when contrasts with depressing surroundings.
