This book is dedicated to the era of the 60s, which, according to the authors, Peter Weil and Alexander Genis, began in 1961 with the XXII Congress of the Communist Party, which adopted the program for building communism, and ended in the 68th occupation of Czechoslovakia, perceived in the USSR as the final collapse of all hopes. Such a chronological framework makes it possible to single out a special period in Soviet history, an eclectic, contradictory, paradoxical period, but united by many common trends. During these years, Soviet civilization developed into the most characteristic model for itself, and the specificity of the Soviet person was expressed in the most complete, most vivid way. In the same critical years, fundamental changes took place in the ideology of Soviet society.The book “60s. The World of the Soviet Man" was included in the list of "the best non-fiction books of all time", compiled by the experts of the magazine "Afisha".Editorial design saved in PDF A4 format.
