Kak my zhili v SSSR

Diskussii o tom, kak lyudi zhili v SSSR, idut s momenta raspada Soyuza. Odnako spory mezhdu temi, kto nostal'giruet po sovetskoy deystvitel'nosti, i ubezhdennymi storonnikami reform redko prinimayut argumentirovannyy oborot. V svoey knige Dmitriy Travin pytaetsya eto ispravit' i sobiraet bol'shoy ob'em fakticheskogo materiala, svidetel'stvuyuschego ob ushedshey epohe: ot pisem, dnevnikov, memuarov i anekdotov do ekonomicheskoy statistiki i nauchnyh rabot. V centre ego issledovaniya — zhizn' prostogo sovetskogo cheloveka: kak on rabotal i uchilsya, otdyhal i delal pokupki, vzaimodeystvoval s oficial'noy ideologiey i mechtal o zarubezhnyh poezdkah.
