Description

Explore the complex shifts in Soviet society and language with the Encyclopaedia of Soviet Life by Routledge. This volume examines the profound changes occurring within the Soviet Union, specifically focusing on how the Russian language has evolved alongside new political thinking. As Gorbachev's era introduced new expressions, a tension emerged between these linguistic changes and the existing realities of the Soviet economy and social structures. This book provides a clear look at the dynamics of Soviet life, where the forces of stagnation and decay meet the rising hopes for liberalization. Zemtsov analyzes how political language functions during periods of intense transition. It is an essential resource for readers interested in Eastern European history, political linguistics, and the sociological changes that defined this era of Soviet history.
