Taking a material approach  or a range of material approaches  can therefore illuminate aspects of the cultural production and lived experiences of Soviet socialism that are not reflected in other kinds of historical records. This edited volume brings cutting-edge research by emerging scholars together with the established voices who have broken the ground in this sub-field over the last twenty years and promises to make a major intervention in the study of Soviet history and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920562077854,"sku":"ING-9781526182128","price":206.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526182128.jpg?v=1782823966","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526182128","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
