This book explores how intellectuals of the later Soviet decades -
the 1970s and 1980s - sought to bring about the socialist utopian
world. It argues that the last two decades of the Soviet Union were
not characterised by state withdrawal and malaise, as some scholars
have argued; attempts to envisage and enact Utopia remained as
imaginative and creative as ever. The book considers what these
utopian ideas looked like through housing schemes, layouts of
districts and cities, design of objects and interiors, and
proposals for the organisation of family and social life. Relating
developments in the Soviet Union to evolving social theory and
postmodernism more broadly, the book draws transnational parallels
between the intellectual history of east and west in the late
twentieth century.
