- Summary
- "In the former Soviet Union, Western fashions, movies, and culture were viewed with suspicion, as agents of foreign influence and "bourgeois hegemony." Today popular culture in Russia has blossomed into a billion-dollar mass-market industry. Yet the tensions in modern Russia have also led to a backlash against Western influences, leading to bizarre and sometimes humorous clashes between cultures and generations." "From the popular nostalgia for patriotic Soviet-era songs that glorify Russia's former military might to the eroticism and explicit sexuality that pervades popular advertising, music, and the media, modern Russia is a country of great cultural contrasts. Pop Culture Russia! charts the proliferation of popular culture in post-Soviet Russia against the backdrop of Soviet culture in the postwar era."--BOOK JACKET.
