The Soviet era is receding, but - paradoxically - it is causing more debate than ever before. How should we evaluate this era and its personalities? Why are the views on it so contradictory? In this book, literary scholars examine late Soviet literature as a complex cultural phenomenon that reveals societal transformations, generational conflicts, and the search for creative freedom and alternatives to the canon of socialist realism. The authors analyze how writers used Aesopian language to evade censorship, how they preserved national identity through interpretations of traditional motifs, and how different generations reacted to ideological pressure. From Albinas Bernotas to Jurga Ivanauskaite - the strategy chosen by each creator reveals different ways to remain authentic in the communist system. The book helps us understand how the experiences of the Soviet era shaped and continue to shape our cultural memory, especially now, when we are once again faced with the challenges of imperial culture.
