Description
This collection of 12 essays explores touchstones of Russian popular culture from the Soviet period that continue to shape language and thinking in Russia today. From iconic films and novels to beloved cartoons and comedians, these subjects reflect Russian attitudes and perceptions.
The author's own experiences and responses to these modern icons bring them to life, explaining why certain references and attitudes persist in everyday life. A unique perspective from someone who grew up in Moscow during the turbulent late-Soviet years, this book is invaluable for anyone interested in Russian language and culture.
