It traces the biographies of Soviet things, examining how the material world of the late Soviet period influenced Soviet people's gender roles, habitual choices, social trajectories, and imaginary aspirations. Instead of seeing political structures and discursive frameworks as the only mechanisms for shaping Soviet citizens, the book explores how Soviet people used objects and spaces to substantiate their individual and collective selves. In doing so, the author rediscovers what helped Soviet citizens make sense of their selves and the world around them, ranging from space rockets and model aircraft to heritage buildings, and from home gyms to the hallways and basements of post-Stalinist housing. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aMaterial culture$zSoviet Union 606 $aSpace$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union 607 $aSoviet Union$xSocial life and customs 610 $aSoviet material culture, human-object relations, Soviet Social History, Late socialist society, Life in the USSR. 615 0$aMaterial culture 615 0$aSpace$xSocial aspects 676 $a947.085 700 $aGolubev$b Alexey$0792172 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823905203321 996 $aThe things of life$93964636 997 $aUNINA
