Consumption in Russia and the former USSR has been lately studied as
regards the pre-revolutionary and early Soviet period. The history of Soviet
consumption and the Soviet variety of consumerism in the 1950s-1990s
has hardly been studied at all. This book concentrates on the late Soviet
period but it also considers pre-wwn and even pre-revolutionary
times. The book consists of articles, which survey the longue durée of
Russian and Soviet consumer attitudes, Soviet ideology of consumption
as indicated in texts concerning fashion, the world of Soviet fashion
planning and the survival strategies of the Soviet consumer complaining
against sub-standard goods and services in a command economy. There’s
also a case study concerning the uses of concepts with anti-consumerist
content.
