The book of the St. Petersburg culturologist Natalia Lebina neatly, like in a museum, contains hundreds of specific «Soviet» concepts and expressions that describe the most diverse spheres of human life during this period.
Who today knows what “Oktyabrins” are, or can restore the subtle difference between the words “narpit” and “public catering”? Who will remember when the first «savages» appeared on Soviet beaches, or will be able to give an exact definition of the abusive term «thingism»? The book of the St. Petersburg culturologist Natalia Lebina neatly, like in a museum, contains hundreds of specific «Soviet» concepts and expressions that describe the most diverse spheres of human life during this period.
