David MacFadyen delves into influential and widely disseminated
songs that had a profound social significance in the Soviet Union.
He discusses each singer's life, showing what it was that made them
famous while placing the differences in their careers and fame in
the context of Soviet culture as a whole. MacFadyen's multi-layered
study considers national identity, gender, and the development of
individual celebrity in a socialist state. He also looks at whether
it is possible for artists to achieve genuine self-expression in a
public arena under continuous political scrutiny. Both bold and
penetrating, MacFadyen reveals a part of the Soviet Union that,
while touching millions of people, has remained almost completely
unexamined.
