What did it mean to be a Soviet citizen in the 1970s and 1980s? How
can we explain the liberalization that preceded the collapse of the
USSR? This period in Soviet history is often depicted as stagnant
with stultified institutions and the oppression of socialist
citizens. However, the socialist state was not simply an oppressive
institution that dictated how to live and what to think-it also
responded to and was shaped by individuals' needs. In Soviet
Society in the Era of Late Socialism, 1964-85, Neringa Klumbyte and
Gulnaz Sharafutdinova bring together scholarship examining the
social and cultural life of the USSR and Eastern Europe from 1964
to 1985. This interdisciplinary and comparative study explores
topics such as the Soviet middle class, individualism, sexuality,
health, late-socialist ethics, and civic participation. Examining
this often overlooked era provides the historical context for all
post-socialist political, economic, and social developments.
