His 1993 project “Krimania” took the form of an initial performance, which involved the artist spending three weeks in a mental institution in Simferopol, Crimea, at the end of which he staged an exhibition for the patients and staff of the hospital.

In August 2013, a group of artists from St. Petersburg (Yevgeniy Kozlov, Oleg Maslov, Inal Savchenkov, Oleg Zaika) filed lawsuits against Bugaev, accusing him of illegal possession of 25 of their works from the late 1980s. The works had been missing since the beginning of the 1990s and appeared unexpectedly in the exhibition and exhibition catalogue “ASSA. The Last Generation of the Leningrad Avant-Garde”, organized by Sergei Bugaev in May and June 2013 at the state-owned Research Museum of the Russian Academy of Arts, St. Petersburg.
