Stiliagi and Soviet Masculinities- A Conversation with Alla Myzelev Part II
In the Soviet Union, youth fashion meant more than just a way of expression. In our latest episode, we discuss with Alla Myzelev about the stiliagi, a flamboyant youth subculture that emerged in the late Stalinist and early post-Stalinist Soviet Union. Myzelev situates the stiliagi not simply as fashion-conscious rebels, but as a distinctly embodied and aesthetic form of dissent that challenged dominant socialist norms of respectability, discipline, and masculinity.
