Book Reviews of A Day in the Life of the Soviet Union
Book Review: A look at the faces and people who comprised the former USSR
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the very last look at the lifestyles that people lived prior to the end of the USSR. Covering the entire 15 Soviet republics and 11 time zones on May 15, 1987, the book shows how many Soviet Citizens lived their lives. Though lives in rural areas remain very similiar today, major cities as shown in these pictures have changed dramatically. The merits of this book lie in the faces of the people and their aspirations at the height of Gorbachev's push for glasnost and perestrioka. Pictures vary from Gorbachev himself to workers at a collective in central Russia. Importantly, this book shows how many nationalities of Soviet (Russian Speaking) citizens lived in harmony under the communist system. The reader is taken aback by the simple, even primitive lifestyles of the people. Yet remember, in this society there was no pressure to invest in volatile markets or fear of being laid off without pay. Most people lived under the assumption that the state would provide for them. See if you can notice this feeling in the pictures! This is a good look back at their lives. Enjoy!
