Homo sovieticus - or the Soviet man - is understood to be a double-thinking, suspicious and fearful conformist with no morality, an innate obedience to authority and no public demands; they have been forged in the fires of the totalitarian conditions in which they find themselves.But where did this concept come from? What analytical and ideological pillars does it stand on? What is at stake in using this term today? The Afterlife of the ‘Soviet Man’ addresses all these questions and even explains why – at least in its contemporary usage – this concept should be abandoned altogether.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: Gulnaz SharafutdinovaGenre: HistoryTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Society & CultureBook Series: Russian ShortsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
