All in all, this is an excellent book, thoroughly researched and persuasively argued. Chernyshova's captivating and timely study of the `progress and frustration' (p. 205) of the Brezhnev years will be of tremendous interest to anyone with a serious interest in the late Soviet period, especially social and economic historians and anthropologists. -Graham H. Roberts. Universite Paris Ouest Nanterre La Defense Chernyshova's account simultaneously advances the ongoing debate on the Brezhnev era and adroitly places the idiosyncrasies of Soviet consumerism within a transnational perspective, enriching our perspective on both. Because this brief review cannot do justice to the wealth of thought-provoking ideas and issues Chernyshova raises, I urge all those interested in the history of the Brezhnev era, fashion, as well as Soviet and European consumerism to read this book.
