The communist movement arose in the Soviet Union in the 1960s due to the fact that not everyone considered the state rhetoric about the proximity of communism and a just, classless society to be empty talk: some took it seriously and tried to bring it to life. One of these experiments is the subject of a book by Daria Dimka, who studied the Leningrad Commune of Young Frunzenians (it existed from the late 1950s to the mid-1960s). The author not only talks about the history, ideology and complex life of a self-organized commune, but also fits the practices of the communards into the broad context of the Thaw Soviet everyday life.
