A discussion about how the tomorrow was envisioned in the early decades of the Soviet era. The lecture is dedicated to the anniversary of Sergey Kirov. The meeting is devoted to how the residents of the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s imagined the future. It will address the influence of socialist ideas, industrial breakthroughs, and faith in scientific progress on the mass consciousness - from workers and employees to the intelligentsia. Staff from the memorial museum will explain how the image of a new world was formed and what expectations different generations had associated with it. Special attention will be given to the cultural sources of the era: artistic texts, propaganda posters, cinema, and architectural projects. Through these materials, listeners will see dreams of communal houses, conquering space, and transforming social life. You can register here.
