Namedni. Our era. 1946-1960
69.99 €
This volume of Leonid Parfenov's legendary project "Namedni" covers fifteen post-war years, from 1946 to 1960. During these difficult, dramatic years, a variety of events took place, from funny to terrible, from admirable to oppressive. Here the Olympic gold of the USSR national soccer team in Melbourne, Australia, and the test of the atomic bomb, the release of the first teenage bicycle "Orlyonok" and the total dictate of the "people's academician" Trofim Lysenko, the distribution of banned Western music recorded on X-rays and the doctors' case, Khrushchev's report "On the Cult of Personality and its Consequences" at the 20th Congress and the persecution of Boris Pasternak, which gave rise to the famous speech "I have not read it, but I condemn it". Politics is intertwined with fashion, literature with sports, music with the automobile industry: the result is a large-scale and vivid picture of postwar life, "something without which it is impossible to imagine us, and even more difficult to understand"
