A survey about interests in soviet aesthetics

I've been pretty curious about how personal proximity to soviet union/era affects whether or not you like these aesthetics/media, based on me and some of my diaspora friends having particular interests in these.

quick disclaimer, i do not fuck with tankies. i wont tolerate any discussion about how the soviet union or modern russian government was/are "actually quite good" this is not the space for that, i will delete/block any comments, asks, other interactions that try to pull that shit here

how i'm defining shit:

i'm using post-soviet states as a catch-all for actual post-soviet states and satellite/eastern bloc states.

"i am from a post-soviet state" means specifically you were born in one and you still live in one. doesn't have to be the same one.

"i am diaspora" means either you were born in or you're 2nd maybe 3rd gen from someone from a post-soviet state, but you now live in/spent majority of your life in a non-post-soviet state.

i leave discretion to individuals to determine how distant they may be to still be considered diaspora, but i would prefer that a parent or grandparent left while soviet union was active, or after it dissolved, and you've like actually met them and stuff.

soviet aesthetics does not include any eastern european thing ever. liking polish folk art, or pre-soviet russian literature, do not count.

art and media include literature, fine art, film, comics, music, shows, video games, fashion, graphic design, your own ocs, and any other medium you can think of

also feel free to reblog/comment with any nuances in your situation/opinion
