Soviet materialities rethinks Soviet history and culture through the lens of materiality, exploring how humans and objects co-shaped identity, ideology, and social life. This interdisciplinary volume bridges Soviet-era thought with theoretical insights from New Materialism, offering a groundbreaking approach to the study of the Soviet past. -- .

Soviet materialities explores how material transforms our understanding of Soviet culture, from the textures of domestic space in 1960s apartment blocks to Gulag labour on the Moscow canal, and from avant-garde literary theory in the 1920s to conceptual art under perestroika. It starts from the ethos that the material world shapes people and society. Taking a material approach-or a range of material approaches-can therefore illuminate aspects of the cultural production and lived experiences of Soviet socialism that are not reflected in other kinds of historical records. This edited volume brings cutting-edge research by emerging scholars together with the established voices who have broken the ground in this sub-field over the last twenty years and promises to make a major intervention in the study of Soviet history and culture.
