Abstract
This review gives a summary of the edited collective volume and places it in the context of studies of Soviet material culture and time. The review highlights the main themes showcased in the book, such as material objects, space, communism, clothes and fashion, museums, accommodation, and architecture, all drawn together with the idea of time and its representation in material culture. While paying attention to insightful theoretical and methodological contributions by the editors and authors of the volume, the review invites readers to think further about the meanings of material objects and their temporality in geographically diverse regions of the Soviet Union in historical and contemporary contexts.
