It's a new world now, and young adults have to hone their bullshit detecting skills in new and different ways. I look at these old photos: Russian women doctors, vegetable patches, hipsters lounging on park benches, and I have the strangest and most compelling sense of dislocation. My American dream, my god-given right to prosper more forever, seems to have vanished into a tired and hazy mass of ever-shrinking sales and a faltering feeling of insecurity. Are we really free? Would it be infinitely worse, would I do anything to escape, if I magically found myself in one of those crowded Soviet apartment blocs in these photos, poor but never to be denied a doctor or an education or a roof over my head? I don't know. I'll keep reading these missives from a land that no longer is, the country of the past, and I guess I'll keep uselessly stewing. ( )
