Description:
In her lecture, Neumeyer reflects on the relationship between politics and images of the past in Russian everyday life. Topics under discussion include the surge in TV shows about the late Soviet era, the tremendous popularity of Internet memes, and the persistent attraction/repulsion to "the West." The title refers to a satirical song that achieved Internet fame after Russia's ban on foreign food imports, including Italian Parmesan Cheese, in response to Western sanctions over Ukraine.”
