Constructed at the intersection of cultural studies, the history of material culture, memory studies, and feminist scholarship, this work presents an oral history of socialist globalization, shaped by the shipment of various Soviet items to India and Cuba during the Cold War. Drawing on the accounts of ordinary people in India and Cuba, the author examines the routes taken by such Soviet household items as cars, washing machines, cameras, books, matryoshka dolls, porcelain, and much more. Viewed from this perspective, the Cold War itself becomes a personal and intimate event, relevant to people's everyday lives.
