Post #75

ODRA continues to reflect on the #PostSoviet period of culture and publishes the second part of the essay of Anna Domini exploring the phenomenon of the Sanatorium as one of the main metaphors and associations with the period during and after the USSR. the first part ---> the second part 'In order to paint a picture of a bright future for the people, it was necessary to start materializing it somewhere — and such sanatorium complexes began to appear, into which an ordinary person could step into like a paradise, as the Soviet era saw it. ... It is interesting to consider the psychological case that people in the USSR had to remain children. Children need to be led and they are easy to manage. Acquired helplessness has created generations unable to move on their own. A human being grew up, but their inner age stood still.' // pic: Knossos palace
