DESCRIPTION:Michele Rivkin-Fish\, Dept of Anthropology\, University of Nort
 h Carolina at Chapel Hill. An exploration of popular narratives of Soviet 
 history as a key site in which urban Russians articulated class-based subj
 ectivities for themselves and others in the 1980s and '90s\, as the legiti
 mating institutions of state socialism collapsed. Through ethnographic exa
 mination of debates between the author and Russian interlocutors on Mikhai
 l Bulgakov's story 'Heart of a Dog\,' the essay identifies local narrative
 s of the Soviet past that indict communist 'class' policies for long-stand
 ing injustice against educated groups. These narratives map comparative ex
 periences of suffering onto essentialized social categories -- 'workers' a
 nd 'intelligentsia' -- depicted as enduring social entities with distinct 
 moral characters. Invoked in the late Soviet era and first decade after th
 e Soviet collapse\, such visions legitimized renewed privileges for educat
 ed groups and erased the ambivalence people otherwise felt toward market r
 eforms.\n
