Political and economic conditions heavily influenced Soviet life and foodways during this period and an exploration of Soviet women's central role in the daily sustenance for their families as well as the obstacles they faced on this quest offers new insights into intergenerational and inter-gender power dynamics of that time. Food, both in its quality and quantity, was a powerful tool in the Soviet Union. This collection features work by scholars in an array of fields including cultural studies, literary studies, sociology, history, and food studies, and the work gathered here explores the intersection of gender, food, and culture in the post-1960s Soviet context. From personal cookbooks to gulag survival strategies, \u003ci\u003eSeasoned Socialism\u003c\/i\u003e considers gender construction and performance across a wide array of primary sources, including poetry, fiction, film, women's journals, oral histories, and interviews. This collection provides fresh insight into how the Soviet government sought to influence both what citizens ate and how they thought about food.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnastasia Lakhtikova received her PhD in English and Comparative Literature from Washington University in St. Louis. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAngela Brintlinger is Professor of Slavic Languages and Cultures at Ohio State University and author of \u003ci\u003eWriting a Usable Past: Russian Literary Culture (1917\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003e1937)\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eChapaev and His Comrades: War and the Russian Literary Hero across the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIrina Glushchenko teaches in the School of Cultural Studies of the Division of Humanities at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Moscow.
