Humor and Rumor in the Post-Soviet Authoritarian State

Informed by ethnographic fieldwork in an authoritarian regime, this bookshows how jokes and rumors remind communities of their fears, support paranoia, shape conformist behavior, and, consequently, reinforce the existing hegemony. In this study on everyday life in a repressive regime, Anastasiya Astapova unveils political humor as it is lived.
