This analysis explores how soviet nostalgia shapes resistance and community in contemporary Russia.
Sovjetnostalgi handlar enligt Jeremy Morris inte om det förflutna så mycket som en längtan efter en kreativ samhörighet (obsjtjnost) som även i nuet används för att hantera utbredd fattigdom och auktoritär styrning. Trots tung teori ger Everyday Politics in Russia: From Resentment to Resistance en unik inblick i dagens Ryssland och rekommenderas därför varmt. According to Jeremy Morris, Soviet nostalgia is not so much about the past as a striving for a creative commonality (obshchtnost) that has always been used to cope with poverty and authoritarianism. Despite a heavy theoretical framework, Everyday Politics in Russia: From Resentment to Resistance offers unique insight into contemporary Russia and is therefore highly recommended.
