Aleksey Tsvetkov is a writer (winner of the Andrei Bely, NOS and Nonconformism awards), publicist and political activist of the left movement. What from the Soviet past can be taken into the post-capitalist future? How has the class structure of society changed and can these changes be noticed in current media, poetry, music, cinema and animation? What is the appeal of rallies? Why are the trappings of yesterday's riot becoming artifacts in a prestigious London museum? In his new book, he talks about what modern Marxism is and how it applies to elite and popular culture. He shares his personal teaching experience and recalls personal “revolutionary situations” that changed his life forever, and also lists the pros and cons of European anti-capitalists. What did the German “urban partisans” want and why shouldn’t Lenin’s body be removed from the Mausoleum? Is there a utopian side to contemporary art and how does it relate to the market conformism of advertising? Who did local rock stars want to be like and why can’t any conspiracy theory turn out to be true, even theoretically?
