{"product_id":"das-sowjetische-fieber-9783838207872","title":"Das sowjetische Fieber","description":"What did the citizens of the Soviet Union identify with? Where did the societal faultlines lie? Did mass demonstrations destabilize Soviet order? How did informal groups come into being within a society based on uniformity? What impact did media and new forms of connection have on the development of a multinational Soviet society? What remained after the end of the Soviet Union? Using Soviet soccer teams from Moscow (Spartak, Dynamo, ZSKA) and Kiev (Dynamo) as examples, Manfred Zeller tells a story of community and enmity in the post-Stalinist empire. He analyzes the complex loyalties that governed group identities and explains phenomena like the love-hate relationship between Kiev and Moscow. 'Moscow against Kiev' in Soviet times was not a question of war and peace, but in soccer there was already a feeling of 'us against them.' Zeller's book is an important contribution to research on Soviet culture after Stalin as well as to contemporary debates on antagonism in the post-Soviet world.","brand":"Manfred Zeller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48277320990971,"sku":"9783838207872","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9783838207872_b7d6640f-45c2-43d8-be39-7ebd64601c74.jpg?v=1772490571","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/das-sowjetische-fieber-9783838207872","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
