| Title | Kto pobedil SSSR: "hippi" ili "jappi"? |
| Description | “Who Defeated the USSR: Hippies or Yuppies?” continues Dmitry Travin’s book “How We Lived in the USSR”, but this time the focus is not Soviet everyday life in general but the formation of a particular generation — people born mainly in the 1950s and 1960s who entered conscious adult life during the “long seventies”, from the end of the Khrushchev Thaw to the beginning of Gorbachev’s perestroika. The author asks what distinguished this generation from the Sixtiers and earlier Soviet generations, and how a desire for personal freedom and political liberation could coexist within it with conformism and an increasingly strong orientation towards material prosperity and consumer culture. Drawing on conversations with members of the generation, diaries, memoirs and historical and sociological research, Travin examines the history of the late USSR through changes in the life strategies of people who would later become direct participants in the collapse of the Soviet system. |
