Russian visual design

[Sapief]

Greetings. I am looking for any work that explores how Russian
culture adopts Western technology and/or "modernism," particularly
as reflected in Russian visual design or "kitsch".  The reason for
my interest is that I want to analyze the visual layout of Russian
web sites.

Thank you.
