Post #34

We have published a second essay as a part of our new column #PostSoviet on the cultural transformations in the former USSR republics over the past 30 years. In the essay, author Anna Domini explores the phenomenon of living in the post-Soviet culture through the metaphor of a sanatorium aka Soviet era resort. According to her, the sanatorium itself is a closed system and it is hard to get out of it, but while it seems exclusively positive for patients, in reality it is a mechanism of suppression of will and freedom.
