Concept information

Preferred term

consumer culture in the USSR  

Definition(s)

  • Soviet culture of consumption sounds paradoxical to those who associate culture with civilized manners and consumption with abundance of goods and service. What many people from the Soviet Union (or, formally, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or USSR) and other socialist countries remember are shortages, long waiting lines, and crude service personnel in the shops and restaurants.
