A Multifaceted Image of the Soviet and Post-Soviet Eras

Russia, Ukraine and a number of neighboring countries formed the Soviet Union, or USSR, until 1989, when what was both a political and an economic catastrophe saw the Union fragment into a number of independent states. Following constitutional reforms in 1990, what remained was now called the Russian Federation and, at 17,172,200 sq. km, it was the largest country by area in the entire world, covering an eighth of the entire inhabited land surface. In 1991, notably, Ukraine became an independent state. Neither country any longer had a communist government, but both were burdened with unproductive economies that made daily life difficult for most citizens. The papers in this collection emphasize the dominant effect of economic deficits on the conduct of daily life in both countries, and discusses some visual aspects of various subcultures.
