Literature on living behind walls

[Sandra Evans]

Dear SEELANGerS,

I would like to ask the SEELANGS oracle for advice on literary texts  
and/or films concerning the everyday of the nomenklatura during Soviet  
times. I am interested in the everyday and the living conditions,  
especially living behind walls in high security compounds, isolated  
from the rest of society. In the same vein I would also welcome any  
suggestions on literary texts/films on "gated community"-style living  
conditions in the current day.

Any ideas, pointers, suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you.


With the best regards,
