Guests entered a space full of several matryoshka dolls, giant jeweled eggs, and ballet slippers hanging from the ceiling. Trays of caviar and beef tongue rillettes were passed around alongside chilled shots of Russian vodka, while attendees came dressed to the nines in brilliantly colored robes, gowns, and ushankas. Each sat before a place setting consisting of patterned plates and paper eggs, with each egg containing a small DDC pin and a tiny bottle of poppers, which — like many of the guests — wore its very own fuzzy hat.

As dinner came to a close, guests who had only purchased a ticket to the after-party filtered in after going on an immersive journey scripted by artist Jenny Weinbloom, in which several Russian folklore archetypes led a map-point quest to find the party. These characters, which included the Baba Yaga, an Orthodox priest, and an opera-singing maiden, then slipped into the party themselves and were seen darting across the dance floor.
