Focusing on a group of military colonels and their families in Karkhiv, Ukraine, this book examines the experience of citizens living in the U.S.S.R. It describes their shifting social, cultural, and political realities and explores how ideological, professional, gender, and national imperatives were internalized, transformed, or rejected.
