Texts/films about nostalgia for Soviet Union?

[Anne Schumann]

Dear colleagues,

I'd like to comment on Goodbye, Lenin. It's a German movie and it must be considered in the German context (which is a context outside the former Soviet Union). I'd rather not call it a nostalgic film (most of the team seems to have been composed of Western Germans), but rather as a contribution to the German identity discourse (Western Germans showing some short-lived interest in the experience of their conationals on the other side of the wall ~ is THAT also Germany?). I remember watching the film with mixed emotions, sth. between visiting a museum and a zoo, but certainly there was no nostalgia.

Anne-Kathrin Schumann,
Vienna/Leipzig
