Ideological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching: Multi-consciousness
Main Article Content
Abstract
Through my autobiographical reflective ethnography of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching, I try to investigate the phenomenon of political multiple consciousness that I observed in the USSR and its development in children. In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature.
