This presentation opens up Soviet everyday life through the story of the personal car - an object where dreams, scarcity, freedom of movement, and new domestic habits converge. The discussion about Sergey Kanunnikov's book will show how the car became a part of everyday life, garage culture, and notions of personal independence. The personal car in the USSR long remained an object of desire, around which dreams, expectations, and a whole set of everyday strategies formed. The path to owning a car was rarely straightforward: waiting, scarcity, DIY repairs, searching for parts, advice from acquaintances, and a special garage environment turned the purchase of a vehicle into an important life narrative. This presentation offers a look at the Soviet era precisely through this lens - everyday, material, and very human. Find other events in Yekaterinburg on KudaGo.
