Caviar with rum: Cuba-USSR and the post-soviet experience

Consisting of sixteen essays by renowned writers and artists, Caviar with Rum: Cuba-USSR and the Post-Soviet Experience is the first of its kind to bring to life how and why the Soviet period is revisited these days and what that means for creative production and the future ofgeopolitics.
