Autor

Sudha Rajagopalan is Senior Lecturer in East European Studies at the University of Amsterdam. A historian and contemporary media scholar, her book Indian Films in Soviet Cinemas: the Culture of Moviegoing after Stalin (2009) was a pioneering, ethnohistorical study of Soviet movie reception. Her publications on the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia since then have engaged with television audiences, celebrity cultures, and post-socialist memory. Her work is underpinned by an abiding interest in everyday life and consumption, both historical and contemporary.
