“HUMILIATING TIME”: EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE 1990s IN THE DIARIES OF LEONID BOLSHAKOV
Abstract
The article systematizes and analyzes the diary entries of the honorary citizen of the city of Orenburg, scientist and public figure L. N. Bolshakov, concerning his perception of the era of the 1990s, characterized by changes in all aspects of the daily life of a Russian citizen. The views of L. N. Bolshakov on the “dashing nineties” are shown, his emotional perception of the changes that took place in the spheres of culture and education, in the material standard of living of Orenburg residents, in national politics and geopolitical space is recorded. All these sections of the emotional experience of the era of the “dashing nineties”, in our opinion, were typical for a simple Soviet intelligent person, which became one of the important factors in the impotence of civil society in the emerging in the 1990s “new Russia”.
