The final, fifth book in Svetlana Alexievich’s famous artistic and documentary series “Voices of Utopia.” “Communism had an insane plan,” says the author, “to remake the “old” man, the old Adam. And it worked out... Maybe the only thing that worked out. For more than seventy years, in the laboratory of Marxism-Leninism, a separate human type was developed - homo soveticus. Some believe that this is a tragic character, others call him a “scoop.” It seems to me that I know this man, he is familiar to me, I have lived next to him, side by side for many years. He is me. These are my acquaintances, friends, parents.” Socialism is over. And we stayed.
