The editors-foremost scholars in their own right-have gathered in this volume the leading scholars that are working currently in the field of Slavic studies. These essays each represent an innovation in the field of Slavic studies and, more generally, in the emerging interdisciplinary fields of the study of social and political space. This is one of those rare volumes that represents an event opening the disciplinary bounds and addressing itself to the reader of the future.
"Offering a variety of perspectives on Russian culture of the Stalin period (from theoretical musings to down—to—earth archival historical research) and ranging in subject matter from the popular song, postage stamps, hikers magazines, and musicals to monumental architecture, film travelogues, Stalinist Bildungsroman, and the archetypal Moscow Metro, the collection should be used widely by students of modern Russian culture and politics."
