  We show that there exists the inverse Kibble-Zurek scenario, when we start
with an equilibrium system with broken symmetry and, by imposing perturbations,
transform it to a strongly nonequilibrium symmetric state through the sequence
of states with spontaneously arising topological defects. We demonstrate the
inverse Kibble-Zurek scenario both experimentally, by perturbing the
Bose-Einstein condensate of trapped $^{87}$Rb atoms, and also by accomplishing
numerical simulations for the same setup as in the experiment, the experimental
and numerical results being in good agreement with each other.
