Good short primary text(s) for reflections on the end of Soviet Union / culture?

Hi Nicole,

In my freshman seminar on Russia I end with a couple of Pelevin 
stories that illustrate the late-20c cataclysm in a symbolic way: 
"The Life and Adventures of Shed Number XII" and "Vera Pavlovna's 
Ninth Dream." A late Soviet or early Post-Soviet film, such as 
Mamin's "Bakenbardy" or "Okno v Parizh," might also work.

Good luck!

Best wishes,
