Me and USSR and Everyone We Know
Manage episode 352736450 series 2907557
Go east! Kasia and Dan tackle a satirical boardgame about queuing in Cold War-era Poland and go deep into 'Ostalgie' -- how do people remember the Soviet era, especially people who don't actually remember the Soviet era? Pioneers, communist pickles and coffee made from acorns all feature, along with 'Good Bye, Lenin!' and an immersive theatrical experience in a Lithuanian nuclear bunker.
Here is Svetlana Boym's essay, 'Nostalgia and its Discontents'.
